First of all, please let me say I'm sorry for being so "late" to this discussion. Before being called a "troll" by mistake, I'd like to explain why I'm posting only now. The reason is simple: I don't discuss what I don't understand, and I really think world would be a much better place if more people thought the same way.
My first reaction to the whole reborning idea was "ewww, creepy", maybe because of the way I noticed their existance or the stories people told me. But a few months ago, I was shopping toys for my kids (as you may see, I don't have an "unfullfilled desire of being a mother")and saw the most wonderful collector's doll I've ever seen. To make a long story short, I left the store with the kids toys and a doll for me.
A little more than one month after the first doll, I bought a baby boy doll and, at the moment, I'm waiting for the arrival of my third reborn. And I have a lot of fun when I go shopping with any of them. Despite all the negative posts all over the internet, when real people see one of my "babies", they alway ask me to hold it for a while. Let's face the facts: if you are creeped by something, you run away, you don't ask to hold and say things like "awww, so sweet" :)
I like babies and children, that's a fact. And I like dolls, the same way I like music, perfumes and videogames. If you want to call me a freak because of this, be my guest. But please, think before judging... I'm sick of reading comments like "why don't these women adopt a real child?". Again, sorry for being so straight, but I do my part in trying to relief (at leat a little bit) of the misery of the poor, sick and abandoned ones. The question is: are the ones who judge my behaviour doing their parts???
