I clicked on the link. It went to a place to pay $70 for a book. I KNOW Johanna is beautiful!! I don't need that book to confirm it.

You're absolutely right Gail! I hate how those book things play on people's egos---it's all a racket as far as I'm concerned! Johanna is absolutely beautiful though!
Becky & Tabitha
Yep, she IS a beauty!
Got to love the way they try to play to a mother's emotions and pride over the selection of her baby. Johanna is beautiful, but seriously, can't they find a better sales gimick?
She is very beautiful indeed.
What a crazy gimick to sell books. I wonder how many people they trick into buying their books. Makes you wonder if they have books with random photos of babies and then one blank page to slip in the photo and info of the people buying the book. Crazy stuff!
You're right, you don't need a book to tell you how beautiful she is. All you have to do is look at her!!!
Wow. That is crazy!
But, she IS a BEAUTY!!!
I entered my son in the same contest and received the same email from them today to publish his photo in the book. I also got an email saying that he was selceted in the judges pick and could win $25,000 if I click the link and pay a $25 entry fee. Havent done it and probably wont. Who knows if its a scam.
I received the same email this morning too. I checked it out, and $70 for a book is crazy! I started to google it this morning and this is the first site that popped up. I'm glad they won't be getting any money out of me!
I just received the same email - Unfortunately it seems that website is just a big scam - I have been overrun with junk email in my account and I am so fed up with it - I even unsubscribed twice already and still receive these annoying emails! I am so regretful for signing up for this racket - I wish I could undo it! Your daughter is a beauty though so keep snapping those photos! Lolly
She certainly is! I received the same e-mail telling me that my baby girl was choosen for the book, and the same I was having to pay $70 for the book... I have my son in acting classes and beginning in the entertainment industry... but that sound to me very foolish... the book is very expensive... so I have be making research about the book and I do not have found any info about such book... I think that is a scam and I do not pretend to getting to this! Good luck to everyone else!!!

Your daughter is beautiful. I am one of the ones who was silly to buy the book. I finally got it a month ago. It is beautiful. although $70 was alot for it. My husband wanted me to order another one for his mom. I sent in the money and today received it back with a "cant forward" tag on it. pulled up their website and it is under construction. ugh...
Since you got the book (although it is very expensive) - is it legit, meaning is it a good quality book full of beautiful babies, including yours?
