Reborn - dolls for adult women

I do not know whether to play in a modern girl dolls, but what dolls acquire for themselves quite adult women - that's a fact. I personally witness that they walk down the street with his toys.

Recently I was in business trip abroad. One day, to my amazement, I discovered that a woman living in the neighborhood, go for a walk with a stroller, which carries a doll.

Well, that is, at first I thought I was just imagining things, and I took over this baby dummy. But then the owners of the apartment in which I was staying, confirmed - this is actually a doll. Reborn.

"Reborn" from English - "born again." There is a whole theory that these dolls were created to comfort grieving women - infertile or those who have lost a child. It is believed that contact with the reborn and care for a woman with a mind switch bitter experience more positive, thus weakening psychosis and depression. These dolls are made by special technology and amazingly accurate depict children, mostly infants. They can weigh as the infants, they have bruises, pimples. And they really are treated like real babies - dressed in children's clothes, buy a stroller and playpen, take with them in cafes and hospitals.

And another thing. When I spoke of his encounter with a neighbor, ride raborna, I realized that I was confused. She seemed neither exalted nor strange, and looked perfectly normal, if not well-groomed. And you see, kind of a respectable lady of forty with a doll in the stroller a bit confusing.

Digging in local magazines, I learned that reborn and their owners - is a kind of community, subculture. And, oddly enough, mostly dolls "adopt" a woman who already has grown children. The desire to once again experience the joy of motherhood encourages them to "educate" reborn, that from a psychological point of view is understandable. Earlier woman enjoying motherhood for a long time, and several children in the family was the norm. Today, more and more often give birth to a successor, but no matter how modern and rational or a woman, brought up centuries instincts still prevail.

In Russia, too, reborn "adopt", but in open contact such "mothers" do not go. But in the forums in their communities can be read funny stories. "At passport control I have demanded a document for a child, even though I was holding the hands of one of her dolls ...", "Flight attendants from the translation made in my list of passengers and PUPS, and then began to panic due to excess on the board," "How- I went to the park and took her reborn. I "with the baby 'missed free ..."

Some of them are just collecting PUPS. Some really play them. So what? There are also those who dress up dogs and goes everywhere with them. And no it's not shocking.
