<DIV class="toptext"> The following three videos describe the very real phenomenon of women and couples buying fake babies called 'Re-Borns.' These 'Re-Born' dolls are oftentimes taken as emotional and physical substitutes for actual infants. This trend has been documented in Britain as well as the U.S. This is their story. </DIV>

sorry, hit enter. As i was saying, husband wasn't keen, but the women seemed to feel that these dolls filled some lost niche. I thought it particularly disturbing that the one woman wanted one of these things to replace a lost child.
