Dolls For Downs

I came across this very amazing mom today on the internet. While I am not personally a mother of a child with Down’s Syndrome, I have been blessed to have wonderful experiences with a lot of different people affected by it.

What has this amazing mother done? She created a line of dolls that her daughter, Hannah can have as a best pal and you can order, too! According to an article I read, she said her daughter told her one day that,”None of the dolls in stores look like me.” This amazing mother decided she would remedy that, herself!

I find this to be absolutely inspiring. Every child wants a doll that looks like them or that they can relate to. While this is not the same thing, I can remember as a child, I felt like dolls never looked like me either because I had freckles, dark hair and wore glasses. Until the recent popularity of a certain doll company’s dolls, this would have been a nearly impossible doll to obtain as most Caucasian dolls come in two forms: Blonde and brunette with little more personality.

I want you to know, I was not asked to write about this site or this mother’s business. I simply love the inspiring attitude she has and I love the crazy awesome love she has for her daughter.

Every detail on these dolls is precious, from the facial features to the hand painted surgical scars in the chests, and are sure to inspire you!
