My life goings on-just a contest

So my sister in law thought she would be nice and enter me in a contest to win a very beautiful ring. This contest is about a struggle the contestants have gone through. My sister in law posted one of my maternity pictures and told my story of losing my first son and now going through the problems with Castan. At first I thought this contest was awesome. There are some incredibly touching stories. Then the owner of the business hosting the contest started changing the rules. She allowed some contestants to post pictures of their deceased babies while not allowing others. This started a huge controversy with a loss support group I have joined because there were several moms on their who were denied their pictures. One poor mom was denied even though the picture was of her baby boy's feet! And the picture had been taken when he was still alive. I tried to defend that mom because there were pictures of other babies. Instead of allowing the baby's feet the owner made the other moms take theirs down. I asked to be taken out of the contest because it was unfair but she hasn't taken my picture down. Even though I am currently in second place I just don't feel right participating. I think if I win a prize I will give it to the mom who was denied. I just think it is so sad how some people bend things to suit what they want.

  1. Sounds like someone had good intentions. Unfortunately things went bad. I hope everything works out. The business owner definitely should never have wavered from the original rules.

  2. I agree with Pam..things can go wrong quick but I think some people have intentions on what they do.

    1. I have no doubt she had good intentions. It's just frustrating and I feel bad for the other moms.
