Complaint Review: Brooke Lugo Smith

I am an angel mother and the owner of Roman's Wings of Hope, a non-profit that assists families after the loss of a child. I have come to personally know Brooke and Collin Smith through my journey of pregnancy loss. My son Roman was stillborn as well. Kennedy Gray Smith was born silent on a week before my son Roman was born silent. I received a death certificate for Roman in the state of Louisiana because of our law's; however, not all states have them. Some states do not recognize stillbirth until 32 weeks, some at 20. Some issue birth and death certificates, some only one, some both. Kennedy Gray Smith was beautiful. I have seen many many images of Brooke and Collin holding Kennedy, forever sleeping in their arms, never to wake. THey have seen pictures of my sweet Roman, forever sleeping in my arms. Your claims are repulsive sir. My maiden name is Adams, so should I claim the maker of the Stacey Adams shoe is a fake and fraud because they ripped off my name?? Should i claim I am the rightful air to their multi-million dollar company simply because of a name? Did you hold Kennedy? Did you even bother to look up her pictures? Did you bother to call Brooke or Collin? Did you bother to open your heart before you even mentioned this rediciliousness? I hope and pray you never experience child loss EVER!

To you, sir, and I use the term very loosely, I have this to say to you, how dare you!  You gave taken the worst grief a mother can feel and compounded it expodentially!  You make assumptions based upon things about which you know nothing and hurt the grieving mother even more!

First, many people share the same name as others in this country and around the world so you are not alone in that and this headhunter who called you obviously forgot this very valid fact and was, in her own right, wrong to make assumptions.  So you have the same name as someone else in this country, big frickin deal.

Second, no you didn't find a birth or death certificate and there is a very valid reason for it.  Ready, pay attention because this is going on all over the country.  Most of the states in this Union will not offer birth or death certificates for children born still.  That's right, as far as this country is concerned if your child is stillborn your child did not exist.  Heaven forbid your child was born before an arbitrary number, ie before 24 (22 and 20 in some places) weeks gestation.  Then your child really didn't exist as far as they are concerned.  Check out the Missing Angels bill if you need proof.

Third, when as infant is born through miscarriage or stillbirth they do not look like a healthy living child.  They take on a doll-like quality because there is no life left in them.  For you to accuse her of using a doll to perpetuate a scam is horrendous!  My stillborn son looks like a little doll in his pictures as well.

Fourth, so many parents of lost children hear the worst things that are supposed to be meant as kind and understanding.  I don't know what you said in your sympathy e-mail but it may have been something that was hurtful to her in her grief.  Phrases like, "I know how you feel" when you've never experienced this grief or, "they are in God's hands now",  "maybe it was for the best" or "God wanted an angel", anything like that is trite and doesn't change the fact that our children are not here.  They are lip service dismissing our grief as something to get over.  The only thing you say to a grieving parent is "I'm sorry for your loss."  Nothing more, nothing less.  

Fifth, not all churches, especially if they are small, can be found on the web.  In fact, when I had to do a search of churches  by state for a project I work the only ones that consistently showed up were the large churches, hundreds if not thousands of members large.  Many of those small churches don't even have websites.

In short, sir, again I use the term loosely, you should really learn your facts before you spout off on things about which you do not know.  Unless you have experienced the loss of a child through stillbirth, miscarriage or infant death you have no right to say anything!  You should be ashamed of yourself!!!!

As a supporter of Brooke Lugo Smith and her fundraiser and her advocacy for Infant loss. I am here to tell you what this man is claiming is absolutely false disrespectful and disgraceful if this man did his research he would have found that brooke lugo smith is a hundred percent credible.This man has harassed Mrs. Brooke Lugo Smith and her husband. 

Facts are Mrs.Brooke did lose her child Kennedy Grey Smith, she did  put u a Gofund to help pay for her funeral. After that Brooke and her husband have become advocates for the cause. She has put together an organization to help prevent insfant loss. She has put together an event for the cause of infant loss. Brooke lugo smith and her husband Colin Smith are well recognized and respected their community and their church. 

This man has continue to open up wounds  which they are grieving from and has not stop  defaming, disrespecting, dishonouring their daughter's death. For this man to claim that Brooke Lugo Smith, her family, and her organization is a fake, is completely false and unfounded.  Brooke lugo smith was pregnant she has lost her child and since then has become advocator for Infant loss. 

My husband and I has work with her. We know her professionally and personally. This man who has put these false claims is completely out of control and he must be stopped. For those who are reading this please check out her page and You will see for yourself that she is 100 percent credible.

I have never met or heard of the man who has filed this report against me until the day he stalked me online, called my personal cell phone number, sent numerous emails and now I see filing reports with false claims against me. It pains me to have to spend time while I am still trying to heal from the death off our baby to validate her existence to a man who is simply obsessed with the fact they share the same name. From his statement, he admits to viewing and going through several of my online accounts. To make matters worse, he has now slandered the church I attend. They now have a false claim when their name is searched on this site.

This report has now published my personal cell phone number that he retrieved by searching my online baby shower invitation. I have no problems supplying ripoffreport.com with my daughter's certificate, autopsy or whatever other information is needed. I have not provided it to the stalker because my personal information is on it. After the stalker apologized over the phone I still received an additional email to our personal email address belittling our daughter's website because the page still had our baby shower invitation up.

He specifically asked if we "took" the name from him and continuously demanded that we take down our daughter's website, which I should add he does not own. This was highly offensive to us. He has gone on to insult the only photos we have of our daughter as being a fake doll, poking fun at my grief and calling our Rest In Peace flyer as amateurish. This is complete disrespect to us and to our deceased daughter. I demand this claim be removed & that he follows up with every file reported on other sites to clear my name or suffer the legal consequences for the slander and grief he is causing our bereaved family.
