“Who are you to judge the life I live? I know I’m not perfect and I don’t live to be. But, before you start pointing fingers, make sure your hands are clean.” – Bob Marley
I didn’t choose to publish the story of my pregnancy. I didn’t choose to publish pictures of myself. Everything that you have seen and or read has come from someone other than me – people who think that they know me or who have something to gain by publicizing my life. I’d like to just ignore it all, but I can’t.
It’s been a week I’ll never forget. Every night before I fall asleep I hope that I wake up & none of this is happening. My life feels like a complete nightmare. Being pregnant is emotional enough and all I want is to enjoy the last two months of my pregnancy but it’s really difficult when people are bashing my name and misrepresenting who I really am.
Since I can’t put the genie back in the bottle, I’ve decided to share who I really am with you. Maybe you don’t’ care. Maybe its more fun just to bash someone. I cant stop the hurtful and negative things being said, but I can let you know the truth about me, a 24 year old single mother to be, my hopes and dreams for myself and my baby, and the experience of my last two months of pregnancy. So, if you are so interested in the story of this “ordinary” woman having a “celebrity’s” child, then read on.
Hey Sam, it’s Annie…from Origins.
I had no idea any of this was going on! I heard about it on the radio on my way into work yesterday (WABB was camped outside your house btw…in case you didn’t know) and was like “hmmm, that couldn’t be my Samantha” and when I googled your name, my chin hit the floor – This is so crazy! I went to message you on myspace but it looks like you deleted your page, but I found this website on Google. I hate to post something here when anyone can read it, so I guess I will just leave it at congratulations, and stay strong. I can’t believe some of the heinous stuff people are saying! I think you’ll make a fabulous mom and I know Sophia will be surrounded by a ton of love. I can only imagine how strange/exciting/surreal this experience must be for you. Hopefully things will slow down for you soon. I’ll be thinkin’ about’cha! Take care -Annie
You are such a strong brave person! I wish the best for you and Sophia!
Samantha,
Don’t let anyone get you down!!! You’ll make a great mother,being single only means 1 thing… your now mommy and daddy. There is nothing wrong with that at all. Strength,will power, love and saccrafice is what makes a MOTHER. Many woman have done it alone and it only makes you more willing to move full steam ahead with all your wants and needs in life. Love concurs all in life and the choices we make, some we can’t take back are only going to make us each a stronger person. So Love and forget all the negative people out there and keep the faith. God Bless you and the angel sent from above Sophia.
Hi Samantha,
I’m so glad I stumbled upon your blog. I owe you an apology. I believed all the terrible things that were being said about you, and now I know they are not true. You seem to be such a nice, loving woman who is trying to make the best out of an unexpected situation. I recently met Mr. Law after his performance in Hamlet and I can only hope that he will take an active role in Sophia’s life, no matter how difficult it will be because of personal schedules, travel, etc. Congratulations on the birth of your first child and I wish you and Sophia all the best. Stay strong girlfriend!!
Hi Samantha,
I remember you when you were just a little girl and visited your Nana in NZ. I am an old friend of your Mum’s and know that the Anderson girls have all been loving, kind and gentle mothers with their babies and you have a wonderful grandmother in Lea. All the best Jan Lane
