I stubbled across this site today while working on The Dead Baby Club blog. I was looking for ways to memorialize our children. Angel Pics is a photo retouching service that allows parents up to two free photo's to be retouched of their stillborn child. Tears immediately welled up as I realized that my terrible pictures could be fixed. No stupid fake flowers, no lace, no red skin, no peeling skin... just a picture of the way he looked, before his birth damaged his fragile skin. And free!! Not charging some astronomical amount and taking advantage of the fact that I was in such grief. And annonymous too. All done in seconds on my PC. I uploaded the photo, stated what I wanted changed. They say its due back to me o nthe 12th. I'm shaking with anticipation. Finally, a photo that I won't feel leery about showing people. Finally my brothers will be able to see what their nephew looked like. Finally I'll be able to look at my sons face and not be distracted by the phoney weird things they added to the photo. To look and not see the horror so blatently. I had to share this. I am hoping they turn out nicely. It seems legit. I'll keep you all posted.

Please do keep us updated on your experience.
It is legit, I had them do a couple pictures of my son. One I didn't really like because it seemed a little too touched up, but the other was fabulous. Just keep watch over your account, I don't know if I just didn't get one or you're not suppose to, but I expected an email notice when they were finished. After a few weeks I checked my account at the site & the pictures had been done about a week after I submitted them.
That sounds like a wonderful service to bereaved families. What a comfort. Thinking of you and your baby. (((Hugs)))
I sent the link to a couple of friends that don't blog. Thank you for sharing the link.
