Well I both collect and make these dolls. I find them fascinating. I true form of art. I've also had a stillborn son, but I'm far from crazy, or trying to replace my lost baby. Nothing can replace my Josh, not even my second son, who is special in his own way and my pride and joy. After 16 years dealing with my lose, I have learned alot about grieving, and spend alot of time talking to mothers that have just lost a child, and I find nothing wrong with wanting a doll to resemble their lost child, its a 3 dimensional picture, not a replacement. However most of us just collect dolls because we enjoy it. Just like any other collection we do enjoy showing them off. No I am not one to take mine out with me, but who cares if someone does, what is it hurting. Stop passing judgement on people you do not know, just because you don't understand something, or its not for you, doesn't mean its wrong. And being that I am a mom to an angel, sometimes having something to hold of theirs when you find yourself really missing them, is very comforting. The first year after I lost Josh, I found myself falling asleep holding his hospital hat.
