**Proud supporter of the reborn hobby and ALL of it's artists! It is a pleasure and an honor to support the sculptors and the artists that make up this incredible hobby by reborning authentic kits only within my practice. You can support the reborn hobby and it's artists by purchasing blank kits from reputable suppliers only such as macphersoncrafts.com, truborns.com, bountifulbaby.com, irresistables.com, etc. However... I will not shun you or shame you for doing otherwise. I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even if I disagree. LONG LIVE REBORN ARTISTRY!!!**
WHAT IS A REALISTIC REBORN BABY DOLL?
A reborn baby is a realistic baby doll that was first sculpted out of clay by an artist to then produce blank vinyl kits that is then hand painted and assembled (aka "reborned") by reborn artists, such as myself! They are one-of-a-kind creations that are made to realistically resemble a real baby as much as possible! Reborn babies are weighted to be as heavy as a real baby, they have details such as real looking mottled skin, milk spots, baby acne, "under the skin" appearance of veins, lanugo, rooted hair, they're often modified to take a pacifier, etc... (of course, depending on what the artist chooses to include.. the price will reflect the level of detailing). Reborn dolls LOOK, FEEL, and sometimes even SMELL like a real baby!!! You can dress them up in real baby clothes, and use real baby items on them such as strollers, cribs, carseats, etc... making them a ton of fun to have and enjoy! Often times, they will come home with a "box opening" which is the traditional way a reborn is sent off to their new home with lots of outfits and goodies that can be used with the baby such as a stuffed animal, a pacifier, maybe a hair brush or bib... creating a beautiful way to interact with your new baby! Reborn dolls are collectors items and not the most suitable baby doll for children, however, many responsible children are gifted them by their parents and loved ones. They can range anywhere from $100s-$1000s of dollars, depending on the artist's skill level.
REBORN THERAPY
Reborn baby dolls are not only one-of-kind hand painted works of art, but are also amazing therapy tools for those dealing with all sorts of disabilities and circumstances, such as Alzheimer's, anxiety, PTSD, trauma, anxiety, grief (ex: loss of a child, miscarriage, stillbirth, etc). Holding a reborn baby can feel very similar to holding a real baby, causing the body to release a hormone called "Oxytocin" which creates a feeling of wellbeing throughout the body, reducing the body's stress response and calming the nervous system. Stress is known to wreak havoc on the body's immune system. Oxytocin is often referred to as "the cuddle hormone" for this reason. Reborn dolls can often help one process their grief when they would normally feel pressured by society to stay silent. (cafemom.com/parenting/200832-how_reborn_dolls_really_can)
HOW TO PURCHASE A REBORN DOLL
Find a reputable source such as straight from the artist themselves or reborns.com. You can also try buy and sell groups on Facebook. One pro tip: NEVER purchase from China or if a deal is "too good to be true" it probably is! Most of the quality reborn babies out there will be at least $200. There are lots of reborn doll scam sites, many reside in China, and scammers in the Facebook groups that will try to cheat you. Be very careful! The best places to shop are straight from the artist themselves (such as myself!) or reborns.com! Amazon.com does NOT sell real reborn dolls.
