Please unlike the fb page "I AM A MOTHER TO AN ANGEL"!!!

Hello, all! I am writing this here instead of my fb page because it is a blog about the popular, albeit infamous, Facebook page called I AM A MOTHER TO AN ANGEL. And as we all know, the owner of that page, Kerin Lee, is an absolute monster (a report button happy monster at that) hiding behind a catchy page name. A self-proclaimed saint, she sells t-shirts, cheaply made jewelry that she pre orders & slaps a handmade title to it & makes digital graphics that she slaps a copyright symbol to & claims she makes them all from scratch on PhotoShop. These claims have been rebutted several times. After she's caught, she simply says she didn't know & lies her way out of it. The only problem with that explanation is, HELLO, you idiot, you've already put a copyright sign on it, simply to scare people from using your images! Which, by the way, are so ugly & cheap looking, I have no idea why anyone would want to say they made it! And FYI, it takes longer than overnight to gain a copyright to an image! Anyone with a smartphone can add a copyright to anything! See, look ©, that means I own this blog. Idiot. It's not that easy. And it costs money! Anyone with half a brain knows that!

Which brings me to my next point, are people REALLY that stupid?! REALLY?! There are countless pages dedicated to bringing this bitch down. To name one, PEOPLE AGAINST I AM A MOTHER TO AN ANGEL. This page has showed proof of everything they've posted in the past almost year now! So, how is it that when that page was first made, IAAMTAA had a little over 30,000 fans (which is ridiculous) and now, a year later, the page has over 122,000 fans??! Please, someone tell me why?! And don't say it's because she's good at what she does! Because I see no proof of that! What I do see proof of, however, is just how many people have been fucked over by her since her shitty page was started in 2010. 

Let me explain my background with this monster we've come to know by many names. I was recommended to become a fan on her page back in 2010, when it was first started. I liked the page but never participated in anything on the page. Every now & then I'd leave my angels name for some remembrance hoop-la but never actually seen my angels included. (And I know I followed her ridiculous rules) So, one day in February, 2012, I seen a balloon graphic that I thought was semicute & decided to request it. The post stated that only the first 100 people to comment would receive a "FREE KEEPSAKE MEMORIAL GRAPHIC". I thought to myself, "free? They should be free! I mean, look at em!" Anyway, I was one of the first 30 people to comment with my angels name. Sometime later, I noticed in my news feed that those images had been uploaded. But mine was nowhere in sight. However, the name ahead of mine & directly behind mine was made. Hmmm.. Did I do something wrong? Doubtful since the others in front of and behind me were made. Anyway, so I hadn't realized yet that I was not only a fan on the page but had been added to the private group as well. So, I left a post on what I later realized was the private group, not the fan page. (It wouldn't have mattered where I posted because apparently, that's a sin to do.) My post read as follows, "Kerin, I requested the newest graphic you have up & I don't see mine. I may be looking in the wrong spot as I've never requested one before, lol! It could totally be my fault. Can you help me out? Thank you!" That's it. What happened next was completely unjustified & uncalled for! At the time, there was about 6,000 fans on the page and I think about 5,999 of them came at me, guns blazing! How dare I ask this precious saint where my graphic was! "She does so much for us out of the goodness of her 24 karat gold heart! And it's people like you that makes her stop doing these wonderful things!" (I put my own sarcastic twist to that, but you get the jest!) 

Continuing on. After this happened, I was mad. And though Kerin was never a help to me directly, I had met some pretty amazing ladies within the group. So, I decided to email Kerin. See, at this time, she was the only Admin on the page. I was expecting Kerin to tell me it was ok & laugh it off. But she didn't. She replied with a long rant about how I was accusing her of not doing her job & how she has one night alone with her family & I ruined it by asking her about a graphic request. She went on & on. Then she got on the group saying the same thing except to everyone in the group! She could've kept it between us but instead, she posted on the page like the bitch that she is. Then, I said FUCK THIS! I emailed her back & said "I'm not like these other people on your page! I will not lick your ass and apologize for something I wasn't in the wrong for doing! I wasn't rude to you, I even added a lol to show the mood was light! And you come back at me like this!? Ban me from your shitty page! I don't give a fuck! Not enough to beg you not to like I've seen so many ladies do!" I ended it there, give or take a few words. 

Ever since then, I've tried my best to out her at every corner. I found jewelry she was claiming she handmade in the back of a magazine for $20 cheaper than what she sold it for. That jewelry IS handmade but most certainly NOT BY HER! She orders it from another company, takes a photo of it with her stamp on the photo & claims she made it! She charges outrageous shipping prices. I, myself send out bears, & to ship those anywhere in the USA is less than $3. So, please tell me how anyone can charge $10 to ship a necklace or rubber bracelet?! When the post office goes by weight! 

There's so much wrong Kerin Lee does, it would take me years & countless blog entries to list it all! It's impossible! What is possible is that I encourage everyone reading this blog to unlike her pages. Do not buy anything from her Etsy shop or her IAAMTAA online boutique. I promise you that you can get better things, much cheaper, somewhere else! And your hard earned money won't be used to line the pockets of a monster! A monster that tells you your money will go towards raising money for her made up charity PICLA (Pregnancy, infant childloss awareness). This is NOT a real charity nor organization! Kerin Lee made it up! It's not even a thing! Just some bullshit Kerin made up so people would shut up about what she does with the money she receives! You could probably make your own jewely with the money you'd lose by helping her. Because if you ordered something today, you'll be given a 12 week wait time & 12 months from now, you'll still be waiting. Only by the end of the 12 months, you'll have been blocked & banned from any page associated with Kerin Lee. This prevents you from asking the Queen Bee where your order is! 

In closing, I'd like to share the links to the pages where you can see all of this for yourself. The proof that Kerin Lee & I Am A Mother To An Angel is robbing grieving mothers & families at their most vulnerable times! With promises of a support network where you're asked not to talk to any member outside of her precious pages & you're banned if you do so. A support network that only includes post after post of her cheap shit she's selling! Hey, Kerin, that's not supportive!!!! 

Please consider unliking & unfollowing any page of hers! She's on Etsy, Twitter, Facebook & Blogspot to a name a few   Also, you can go to Google and simply type in complaints against I Am A Mother To An Angel. See for yourself! There's petitions for Etsy to take her shop down. Which they've done before & she just opened another one. This monster will stop at nothing! She deletes anything negative ever written about her. On her pages that is! She can't delete what she's done to thousands of grieving families, her own included (For baby Scarlette). Don't be fooled by the tiny handful she's treated kindly! She can't be that way with everyone or she wouldn't have gotten as far as she has! Keep that in mind! Thanks to the countless women that take time everyday to try & bring this bitch down where she deserves to be! Thank you, ALL!!

Links to the pages with all the proof. Please read these pages & let the evidence speak for itself:

Second Annual Valentine's Day Card Exchange Program

Welcome to the Second Annual SBAPLA Valentine's Day Card Exchange Program! First, before you read any further, if you know you will not be able to purchase or make two Valentine's Day cards & two stamps, please do not join. If you can, please continue reading. Here I will explain how the program works & try & answer your questions.

**What you'll need to do:

To participate, as stated above, you'll need to purchase a minimum of two Valentine's Day cards & two postage stamps (if your names are within the states. If outside the states, you'll purchase six stamps, three for each card). You may ask for more than two names but each person is only required to send out two cards. GIFTS ARE NOT REQUIRED. You may send one but you do not have to. You can also make your cards. Some people find this cheaper, easier & more fun anyway. The addresses will be chosen & provided by me. If you would prefer not to receive religious cards, please specify this when you sign up. If you'd like to stay within your own country, please specify this as well. Please note, I'll try my best to honor that request, but it can't always be done. Especially if you're outside the states because most of the people that sign up are in the states.

**Sign ups & deadlines to have the cards sent out by:

Sign ups started on January 1, 2015. The deadline to sign up by will be Friday, January 16, 2015. I will begin emailing and/or inboxing the addresses to everyone on Monday, January 19, 2015. If the names given to you are outside of your country, the cards must be mailed out by Monday, February 2, 2015. If they are within your own country, they must be mailed out by Friday, February 6, 2015. We want the cards to get there BEFORE Valentine's Day, NOT AFTER. I may sit a sign up limit to 50 people. Last year, so many signed up that it got very overwhelming for me. Plus, so many people didn't do as they were supposed to do.

**If you haven't participated in any card exchanges of mine in the past:

If this is your first time participating in one of my card exchange programs, you'll need to either email me or inbox me on the fan page for the program. The link to the fan page is below. My email address is mamasbby84@aol.com.

Please send me the following info when you email me:

1. Your first & last name
2. Your mailing address with NO ABBREVIATIONS.
3. Your angels name (optional)

Also include, as stated above, if you would rather not receive religious cards. If it's too hurtful for your angels name to be on card, just don't include his/her name.

**If you have participated in past exchanges:

If you've participated in the past, all you have to do is tell me you'd like to join. I have all the addresses of everyone that's participated already. If your address has changed since the last exchange, please notify me via email or inbox message on Facebook.

**What happens if you need to drop out:

Dropping out IS acceptable. I know that things happen, oftentimes unexpectedly. If you find you need to drop out, please notify me so that I can give your names to someone else or pick them up myself. If you drop out & you do notify me, you WILL be allowed to join future programs. If you do NOT notify me, you'll be banned from all future programs. If you send me a message AFTER the deadline to have your cards out telling me you need to drop out, this will be unacceptable! If something happens after the deadline, that's no excuse. Because had you sent your cards out on time, this wouldn't effect anything. Please only join if you're serious about it. This is very important! We don't want to hurt an angel mothers feelings on an already difficult day. Any holiday can be difficult without our angel babies! Even Valentine's Day! 


**What is NOT acceptable:

E-Cards are NOT acceptable! Real cards are more personal and that's what's required for this program. 

**Facebook address for the fan page:

Please like the page for the card exchange program & visit it often. I will post updates & important info on the page. Thank you to everyone that signs up! I hope you all enjoy the program!
