Reborn Baby dolls, however people would intend to name them, fake babies or real baby dolls, they remain as dolls. Just as these dolls were painstakingly hand crafted with creativity and love, Reborn artists and doll enthusiasts alike decline to give them the title fake babies.

Anybody calling them that name would certainly be confronted by a crowd of angry reborn doll lovers. Even if it is somewhat true, the word fake is not proper to be used for these baby dolls, simply because it connotes mockery, forgery and crime. Calling these dolls fake means travesty to the reborn artist's inventiveness and efforts. Won't it hurt the same, if your most cherished toy is given some titles you hate to hear?

Also, every artist would claim that, no two reborn baby dolls are alike. So, no forgery or imitation has been done while they made their creations. Every doll is carefully washed, painted, mottled, accessorized and assembled to become reborn. They are dressed and christened with names. Real names that the artists deem are wonderful for them. These newly reborn baby dolls are also provided with birth certificates to support sponsorship processes. In real sense, these dolls are treated like human newborn babes.

As the prowess and realism become more comprehensive, reborn babies become more valuable. Reborn doll makers believe that these dolls have big roles to perform in their lives and in the lives of their soon-to-be foster parents. Some reborn dolls are intentionally crafted for new moms who have just lost a baby, or to moms who wanted to have one. Some others employ reborns to help in the therapy of patients suffering dementia and Alzheimer's.

Even more important is the kind of joy and satisfaction that these dolls express to their owners. If you present a little girl, her own baby doll "sister", you merely cannot take the smile off her face. She'll be overjoyed to have it and care for it for the rest of her life.

Moreover, if you give sick grandma, a sweet and cheerful reborn baby doll, she'll pamper it as if the baby is one amongst her many children. If she cannot remember your face, at least she remembers your name, which she gives to the real baby doll on her arms.

There's nothing alarming for something that has been created with love and passion. Reborn dolls are not fake babies. They're real baby dolls that anybody would want to have and pamper.
