How is this new? Kids have been playing with dolls and pretending to be moms & dads since the begining of time.

A video game where you pretend to kill seem to be something to be more worried about.

If you really want to save or protect children is seems as though time, energy and effort is better spent on something else.

Teaching children that babies are more special if they are purchased by you rather than born to you should ensure the adoption industry a market for babies well into the future. When there is a large market for babies and few real orphans, exploitation of naïve young mothers and poor families occurs.

Will the adopter be “rescuing” a baby from a bad situation or a drug-addicted mother? Not likely. According to the announcement these are healthy babies: “Once the ‘nurse’ determines the baby doll is healthy enough to be ‘adopted,’ the parent-to-be is able to hold her new baby doll for the first time.”

After the prospective adopter is given baby-care instruction, the doll is placed in her arms and a photo taken. The adopter receives a falsified birth certificate on which is written the baby name she chose, a falsified date of birth (the date of adoption may be used), and her own name as having given birth. Later, when the adoptee becomes suspicious and questions it, the photo of the adopter wearing the hospital gown while holding the baby will give credence to the lie that it was the adopter who gave birth. Before the transaction is complete, the adopter may be encouraged by the nurse’s words “You are such a good mommy”.

Newborn Nursery® dolls sell for only $99.99, far less than a real infant who may be “purchased” from a lawyer or “adoption professional” for tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in United States.

Absent from the Newborn Nursery® are the babies’ mothers and the original birth certificates. Will any little girl think about this? Perhaps the mention of “awaiting a loving home” provides the desired inference - it must be that the mothers of these healthy-looking adorable babies didn’t even want them.

In reality, all infants who are adopted must be born. They have a true birth certificate which includes their own name lovingly chosen by their real mother if she was permitted to do so.

does anyone remember cpks????

I dunno; lots of people are adopted, and it's always a taboo subject. Kids grow up thinking there's something wrong or "different" about them. Why is it such a terrible thing to teach kids that adoption is normal?

This is quite frankly the most disturbing toy I've seen in a while. I am especially creeped out by the whole hospital gown thing. What the frick?!

Well it may be creepy and commercial, and exploitation of kids by a corporation...

but on the plus side it shows kids that adoption is a good thing, and its ok not to only have your own kids. And certainly they couldnt do it the other way, no reproduction for kids! They need to find out about it on their own when they are 16 in the back of a car.
