Why should you autmatically believe them?
Anyone can go on the internet and say anything. I received an email today telling me that I won the South African lottery, and if I just provide them with my bank account number, they will transfer the money immediately. Guess I should give them the benefit of the doubt too.
Don't you find it amazingly coincidental that this couple's surrogate just happens to find this thread on one of millions and millions of internet message boards?
If she is so determined to publically defend this couple, why not call up any of the Florida media outlets that have already covered the story and go on record there? Why come to a relatively obscure message board to do it?
My point in quoting the article was that the so-called first surrogate poster cited that article as proof of all the claims she made in her post. I was pointing out that in fact, the article did not back up her statements.
How would I know that $1500 was all that was paid? I don't. But then you don't know that any other monies were paid, do you?
Since the adoptive couple has repeatedly said that the surrogate wanted to cheat and extort money from them, doesn't it make sense that they would list all the amounts and times that such money had been extorted? But they only mention one amount - $1500. If she took more money, why not say so? wouldn't that only make their case stronger?
