Recycled Babies in Scotland

Reborn, born again, recycled, all seems the same to me. There’s a baby maker in Foutainhall, Scotland – near Edinburgh, who makes, well, um, babies. Except her babies are not real. For some, they are too much like real babies. They are crafted in vinyl and have become quite popular with collectors and nostalgic grandparents, not to mention parents who have lost their little ones.
I’m not buying it. A plastic baby can’t replace a real baby. Still, these babies are painted over several times to create the newborn skin feeling. They have mohair (not sure what that is) and eyelashes (I know what they are). The babies are also weighted to feel as heavy as a human baby.
So, why don’t people who buy these babies try the adoption thing? There are children looking for parents. Can you say India and China? Why would anybody want a plastic doll when they could have a living doll in need of a real parent? Our planet is crowded enough. Why recycle babies?
Our last question is if these babies need green diapers or not. Guess not, right?

There are probably babies in your own home country to adopt. Please think of them BEFORE going overseas or overlands to adopt babies…
mohair is goat or kid hair
FYI: Mohair is a type of expensive fur from an endangered animal; a goat. Like angora. Expensive, from it’s protected status. My pops had a jacket made of it. Illegal to trade in certain countries.
That is all.
It’s actually pretty hard and expensive to adopt a child from a third-world country. You can’t just fly over, adopt a kid and come back.
