The only one who is probably not upset about this is God. Even though good people on here prayed for someone who was not real.I'am sure God smiled upon the good people on here for praying. In turn you actually prayed for AKA Jenn.
Sorry - Apology from "Samarai Jenn" about the entire fake story

Great job Nifty and Mods.
As a mom of a child who was very sick and spent almost his entire first year in the hospital, and saw many children not survive, I am so sad and sickened.
Jenn/Luke/????, may you never, NEVER, NEVER have to live through the story you fabricated. I assure you, the "attention" you get from it will never make up for the sick child, and all the losses you experience, and those that you will watch your child experience.
May we all know that we answered the call of a person in need. Regardless if that need was real or not, we did the right thing. Prayers and hope and love are NEVER wasted.

Wow, that is pretty sad. I am fairly new to the board but have learned so much about people on the board, their families and how they love their animals. We have so many wonderful people here...
This "hoax" really hits too close to home - so here it is; my husband and I have been married for 14 incredible and somewhat troubling years. For four years we tried to have a family, like so many other couples in this country - more than most people realize (33% infertility rates among woman). We tried three IVF cycles and I had four surgeries to remove fibroids and a uteran septum. Books have been dedicated this subject so I won't go into greater detail. I will say that with each cycle, their is the commitment to the regimen(pills, injections and blood draws), hope of conceiving, anticipation, anxiety and eventually in our case the disappointment. With each cycle their is a great deal of loss & grieving, not to mention the divorce rate amongst couple that cannot have children.
When, I saw this post - I was joyous, interested and saddened by their loss. Theirs was a "success" story that I hadn't experienced. I have compassion for someone that "has nothing better to do" however, I personally find the deceipt deplorable and to "play" people's emotions and concern irreprehensible. What? To see how deep people would get involved?
If you sign on as someone else and are reading this - please get yourself some mental health help there is something dark about this "gag."
Pray for this individual....

I have to say that as I followed the Samarai Jenn thread, a lot of red flags went up for me. The weird appearance of NurseStaci, the carboncopyjenn, the almost unbelievable string of tragedies... culminating in photos of babies that honestly didn't look the same (some of whom didn't look like they actually weighed less than 2 pounds) or look like they'd been taken by the same camera.
That said, I kept following the thread, because sometimes unbelievable tragedies DO take place and I'd rather err on the side of being duped than not sending prayers for a person in need. I've been on the receiving end of "you've got to be kidding me!" tragedies and at the time I would have been crushed if people didn't believe me. It's better to be overly trusting than cold-hearted!
This Luke went to great lengths to make his barely-believable story credible... photos of the other kids, myspace, etc... I feel sorry for him, but proud as all heck of BYC members. To those of us who fell hard and are pretty upset by this,
and thanks for being good people.

I didn't start with the whole saga in the early stages, but I did get somewhat caught up. However, I was more sceptical this time than I have been in previously. For one scam story here I was even gullible enough to send money.
BYCers be proud of your compassion. I'm now the "once bitten, twice shy" type of person here.

Well said redhen
No one should feel bad or ashamed for giveing your all to these people even tho it turned out they were fakes.
I only lurked on the threads about the baby's and saw the pics and was terribly sad and cried when i thought one had past.
But mostly i was in aw at the loveing care and kindness shown to these people. The prayers and thoughts and tears were not wasted they were viewed and admired by many.
But mostly by God who saw these wonderful people here giveing their all for these babys and who they thought were friends. You all will be rewarded for your kindness and huge loveing hearts.
You all are sweet good people and i'm humbled to be on this forum with such loveing and careing folks

This person still needs our prayers.

I consider myself fortunate to never have gotten caught up in the threads' many sagas. Something just never seemed quite with me, though I couldn't have said what at the time.
I'm saddened to hear that so many were hurt by this person's actions. I ask that you forgive, be wary of future stories, and continue to share your love of chickens with the many caring and kind people on BYC.
