Just what exactly is a Reborn baby? Reborn babies are basically dolls which are made to appear and feel such as for instance a real human baby. Much like an everyday doll, they are generally manufactured from up vinyl; however, each doll is carefully crafted to become as life-like as you possibly can. The art of creating reborn doll requires a number of step by step procedures and starts with disassembling the elements of a doll, removing its factory paint, stuffing each part to make it heavier, and putting back together again. The doll is coated with several layers of paint in different shades to produce an authentic human flesh tone; then a hair, including eyebrows and eyelashes, are painstakingly rooted individually to the doll's head and face for an all-natural finish. To produce it more realistic, some dolls are designed with mechanisms to emulate the feel of heartbeat. Each doll can cause a hundred to a thousand dollars depending on its workmanship. This art of making reborn doll is called "reborning" while the doll artist is called reborner

The procedure of making reborn dolls started in early 1990s in the usa, when doll aficionados wanted an even more authentic human doll. Slowly it gained popularity and in 2002, the first reborn doll was sold through the internet. Since them, increasingly more doll enthusiasts, artists and hobbyists are doing reborn dolls rendering it popular in the some other part of the entire world. In 2005, the International Reborn Doll Artists was founded in Orlando, USA and currently, there are hundreds of reborn forums and guilds within the net.

One of many famous reborner is Deborah King, who has been doing the company for more than 5 years. She said she had seen the art of making reborn dolls grows and develops and she had enjoyed specializing her skills. She had made and sold reborn dolls to collectors in the various areas of the globe. She had already been invited and interviewed by different tv shows and magazines.

One featured doll collector is Fran Sullivan, she is 62 years old and has never had a baby. She own a lot more than 600 dolls including reborn babies. Depending on her mood, she chooses which doll to take care for the afternoon and she talks to them just like human.

Because of the rising popularity of Reborn dolls, BBC America aired a documentary on the subject in October 2008 entitled "My Fake Baby". The documentary dedicated to women who spent money, effort and time in rearing life-like dolls.
