Reborn Baby dolls, no matter what people may want to name them, fake babies or real baby dolls, they remain dolls. Just as these dolls were carefully hand crafted with creativity and passion, Reborners and doll enthusiasts alike refuse to render them the name, fake babies.

Anybody calling them that name would definitely encounter a group of angry reborn doll fanatics. Even if it is somehow true, the word fake is not good to be used for these baby dolls, merely because it connotates mockery, imitation and crime. Calling these dolls fake means mockery to the artist's inventiveness and hard work. Wouldn't it hurt the same, if your favorite doll is called some titles you hate to hear?

Also, each artist would claim that, no two reborn baby dolls are the same. Hence, no counterfeiting or imitation has been done while they made their creations. Each doll is meticulously washed, painted, mottled, accessorized and assembled to become reborn. They are garbed and christened with names. Real human names that the reborners think are ideal for them. These newly reborn baby dolls are also made with birth certificates to support sponsorship papers. In real sense, these dolls are cared for like human babies.

As the level of creativity and realism become more comprehensive, reborn babies become more treasured. Reborners believe that these babies have significant roles to perform in their lives and in the lives of their soon-to-be foster parents. Some reborn dolls are deliberately hand-crafted for parents who have recently lost a baby, or to mothers who longed to have one. Others make use of reborns to help in the therapy of patients experiencing dementia and Alzheimer's.

Even more significant is the level of joy and pleasure that these dolls give to their owners. As you give a little girl, her own baby doll "sister", you simply cannot take the smile off her face. She'll be happy to have it and cherish it for the rest of her life.

Likewise, if you hand sick grandma, a charming and cheerful reborn baby doll, she'll pamper it as if the baby is one amongst her many children. If she can't remember your face, at least she remembers your name, which she gives to the lifelike baby doll on her arms.

There is nothing to fear for something that has been made with love and passion. Reborn dolls are not fake babies. They are real baby dolls that anyone would love to own and care for.
