MIchelle, you know damn well you took yourself off my boards you even said so on your status " i cant be a member of a group run by a hypocrite" your exact words, you may think your making me out to be a bad person but really your not, your making yourself out to be a evil nasty person by trying to ruin our chances of having a family. Its truely awful what your trying to do and people can see that. I smoke but it doesnt make me a bad person, what your doing makes you the bad person. What you and hazel did was truely out of order and many people we both know think so too, and you may think that because you have blocked me i cant find out what your writing about me but your wrong, everyone else that knows me knows im not a bad person i support people as much as i can, i supported you and james the very best i could, and if you want to throw that back in my face just becuase i smoke then so be it, but your in the wrong here, Stop trying to ruin our chances of finding a surrogate its nasty and evil. Good luck with your surrogate honestly i mean it even though your being nasty to me.

Hi,
I accept that we cannot all like everyone but we all have something in common that we are working towards.
Lisa, now isn't the time to get upset. There are other things more important going on at this time and you need to focus on having the support around you at this time and not get involved in arguments.
We will all find our surrogates and they will be right for us as individuals accepting our different lifestyles and needs, hopefully our match's will have a positive outcome.
Its time to move on now as this has been going on for a while.
We need to stick together and support one another in our personal loss and struggle to become parents.
Keep strong and smile, we will get there.

Look this is the end of this, my final word on it becuase im not in the wrong here and i wont be made out to be a bad person just for smoking you are the bad person attacking someone for something unimportant.
I blocked hazel off my facebook friends becuase she was sending me awful messages, i blocked no one off the website i dont even know how to do that. I havnt been in charge of the site for a month, with everything thsat is going on at the momet i needed a break. Dont go around lying about people you will just get found out. Lisa commented but she smokes too yet u nor hazel attacked her the way you attacked me. Now leave me alone and stop spreading lies about me, back stabbing and vicious rumers its not nice michelle. Your doing yourself no favours here. Now enough is enough.
