Reborn babies fool cops

I have three grown sons.
I love dolls and will always love dolls...
those 'newborn dolls' are beautiful.
I call that 'being very artistic'

I make reborns also. Yeah, some of them look creepy, even some are creepy on purpose...with horns and fangs! I've made a few infants and now make toddlers and 4 yr olds. It's a hobby just like all the others out there and with the right buyer, it can be quite a lucrative hobby. http://www.hambly-funeral.com/reborns.html

I produce the vinyl reborn kits that these babies are made out of. They are really a work of art. Like a scuptor or painter, it takes a LOT of talent to make one of these look that realistic. It is an art, like any art, and you either like it or you do not. They are amazing creations. And why do people buy them....because they like them!!....why did people buy beanie babies??? or collect other things that might seem crazy to some people?? It is a hobby that is quite interesting. Check out my website for more photos

I make these reborn babies and they are wonderful...before you close the door on these adorable little ones try holding one...collectors love them and so do moms, kids and grandmoms. Yes get a cat, clean the box. I love making these babies and even more I love watching other people with them...Little girls love to play with dolls, big girls do to...and they cost much less than a jet ski or a hummer.

I find it hard to imagine how a "DOLL" can be creepy???????????? When I was a little girl doll manufacturers, in their constant quest to be more and more realistic, made dolls who wet their pants, walked, talked and slept. It's a doll for goodness sake so get over it.

Ok...i make these babies..and i have to say there is alot more to just what meets the eyes on these babies..each and everyone of us who reborn these sweeties are concidered Artists..some of these babies are kits made from molds from sculpters who have sculpted them from their own 2 hands then paid to have them poured into molds for the rest of us to create our own little bundles of joy...what we do is paint them many layers of permenant paints.. we root their heads to apear as if the hair is growing right out of their scalp..these babies will last not years but many generations..i'm sure to some of you's this sounds creepy..but have you ever held a reborn baby..Yes they do look and feel just like a baby..but they give comfort to some who can find no comfort...and each adopted parent of one of these babies adopts them for their own reasons..some are collectores some just need to fill a loss..some just love them..whatever the reason is we as reborners are proud and very glad to make these special babies for those who love and apriciate them...
Oh yea and as for taking these babies with you out in public, well i do that i take my babies to the stores and in the stores and in resturaunts..for those of us who do its the way we advertise them, so instead of looking at them and feeling embaressed for thinking they are real..why don't you come up to us and talk to us..hold the baby and see for yourself what the big deal is with these precious babies..don't be scared...they don't bite...
and for the ladies who do leave them in their cars..please put your card on them or a sign sayin your nursery name and that they are a reborn baby....

Reborn Babies are one of the hottest collectible dolls out on the market today. Each baby is created to look like a real life baby.
This is an Artform. I have had many Mothers email me, asking to have a baby made that looked like her own children did as a baby.
We try to match up the picture with one of the many doll sculpts out there that are done in vinyl to achieve this. Then there are others that just want a newborn baby to add to their collection.
These babies are really a piece of Art that you can hold and not just look at as you would a portrait.
Lifelike Reborn Artist's and OOAK Guild is a group of Reborn Artist's that are experts in such beautiful creations.

Doll collecting at it's finest! Wouldn't we all love to have a doll like this when we were little!
Creepy people make this sound wierd...maybe they should look in the mirror for creepy???

I make these beautiful creations called reborns. There is nothing more beautiful than a baby and little girls have played with dolls forever.
You dont grow old playing with dolls...you grow old because you dont play with dolls.

I am a reborn artist also and these are collector items purchased mainly by people who like dolls. The realism is our goal when creating one of these babies, so if it creeps you out because it's so realistic - good for us - we succeeded!

Do I drive around with my dolls - yes, because I sell at doll shows but always make sure they are concealed when I leave my car. It is never my intent to deceive anyone into thinking that they are real babies.

The author of this article, Sandy Maple, obviously did not do thourough research and shows her ignorance of this form of Art by the negativity in which she portrayed it. I think she is a "rebornaphobic" LOL

I am a reborn Artist. I paint on vinyl, just as some paint on canvas. I like collecting dolls, just as some do beanie babies, coins, pez dispensers etc.

I have sold babies all over the world and never to someone who "couldn't have a baby". People that do not understand this art form tend to portray it as being 'creepy". In actuality, only about 1% of reborn dolls have heartbeats and breathing apparatus's. There is probably less than 5% that collect them because they can't have babies of their own.

Most people buy these dolls to collect. They do no go around carrying them in the stores and cars, trying to replace a real baby.

Perhaps most of you should do some research before passing judgement. A lot of time and talent goes into producing these babies. Feel free to check out my website. I explain in detail how each one is made and lot of pictures. WWW.terristinytots.com

I'm a doll collector and I'm also a reborn artist. I've been doing this about 6 years and have taken my babies out in public many times as a marketing tool. Because people are so amazed and tickled with them, it's fun to watch. I rarely get a rude reaction. They look so real that I sometimes have to do something outrageous, like hand a very premature infant to a stranger to hold for a minute or lay the baby down in a dangerous position to get the attention I am seeking. I intentionally trick people into thinking they are real, then confess that they are looking at a doll, then hand them my business card.

I have used a doll to get into the carpool lane but I never leave a doll uncovered in a parked car. These stories have been around since the beginning of reborning and most of us know better.

I have made special order memorial dolls but most non-doll collectors want them as a 3-D memento of grown children or grandchildren. Often they dress them in treasured outgrown baby clothes instead of leaving those clothes packed away to be discovered by future generations and sold on Ebay. The dolls are not alive and cannot return affection. I do not market them as such. They are simply works of art that you can pick up and handle, as opposed to hanging on the wall or sticking into a curio.
