Woman arrested for faking pregnancy
Categories: Just For Moms, Pregnancy & Birth, Adoption, In The News, Weird But True

A Florida woman is under lock and key for faking her pregnancy. The twenty-four year-old was supposed to be surrogating a child, and had collected nearly $6,000 for rent, medical bills and other assistance from two adoption agencies in other counties.
Shawanda Butler was found out after representatives from the Little Angels of America visited her home. She refused to show them her stomach and instead retreated to the bedroom where she allegedly stuffed her shirt with a pillow.
Butler is now facing fraud charges for allegedly faking her pregnancy to collect money from the adoption agencies.
Part of me wants to wave my fist at the injustices that we read about every day. Part of me just bats an eyelash knowing there's so much worse out there.

So she wasn't pretending to be a surrogate, rather, she was pretending to be pregnant and interested in placing the child for adoption.
