Now it all makes sense… sort of.

April Rose (my first & middle name).. I think it’s a beautiful name personally. Well.. now I do. Honestly, up until the age of 16, I wouldn’t let anyone but my mother call me by that. I’ve only met one April Rose in my lifetime. That was about 8 years ago in the middle of an Old Navy. She was half Asian, too. Go figure.

I was curious to know what other April Roses there were out there, so I googled it. I ran across one blog about an expecting mother who was pregnant with a very ill child. I skimmed through the entries and what I read was heartwarming. Apparently she touched the lives of a lot of others as well. I thought to myself that maybe I should check on this blog more often.

Well, I tried to read her blog today and it was gone. Alright. That was abrupt… and then I went to go look at my WordPress blog stats. One feature that I like about the blog stats is that it tells you what keywords were searched for when people click my blog’s url. I noticed a lot of people were coming to my blog after searching for keywords like “april rose fake” or “april rose scam”. I was lost, so I went to look for myself. What I found was even more confusing.

In light of that blog disappearing, new ones popped up. These blogs were saying that the expecting mother wasn’t really expecting. In fact, it might have been all a scam to get money out of the people who embraced the unborn child. I was in complete shock.

I don’t know much about the story, so I can’t say whether it was completely made up or not, but the info on these sites seemed pretty legit. If it is true that this was just an elaborate story used to bamboozle innocent people, that’s just sad and I hope they get what’s coming to them. If not, I wish the best to baby April Rose and her parents wherever they may be. Hopefully there will some sort of conclusive ending to this story sometime soon.

    Wow. I occasionally read that blog – her sanctimonious “christian” stuff was so over the top that it really turned me off and kept me from reading it much. Well that and it seemed a bit fishy. It was all a scam (and it was, I’ve seen the irrefutable proof) – I feel so bad for the people who donated and were emotionally invested in this evil woman. And she is evil if she did it for money and attention which looks to be the case. I hope something is done – she gets sued, arrested for fraud, something needs to be done. I’ll be so angry if she can just delete her blog and keep all the donations and ad revenue – and never have any repercussions for all of this. These fraudsters need to be taught a lesson – esp one this vile.
