I think we should all complain to E bay and tell them that this doll is very offensive maybe they will then do something about it. I complained once before about something offensive to people with disabilities and E bay were very apologetic and removed the seller.

Well I have done it! I have contacted the seller of these dolls through E Bay and told her just what I think of her dolls and that they are ugly and offensive and should be banned from being sold on E bay and other outlets. Just waiting now to see if I get a response. Its your turn now to contact her and give her your opinions.....................

My DD just said it looks like a troll & the girl looks like a pig. I believe that describes them accurately.

I messaged that lady and said ,,, these dolls may be made from your heart, but they dont look at all like a baby with DS. I said, she surely could find better pics of babies with DS and remodel her dolls. I told her I could even give her pics of my daughter since she was 5 weeks preemie and she would see her dolls look not even close to a real baby with DS. We will see if she reponds.

I'm torn on this one too. If she is making these dolls from her heart....she just may be a kind person with little talent.
I'll be interested to see her response to the emails. I'd also be interested to see her create a typical baby. If her 'typical' creations are also as ulgy....then she may just in the wrong business.

Not only is it ugly, both the boy and girl are frowning! Personally, I do find the doll offensive! I can't imagine anyone wanting a doll with a disability to look unhappy! There are some other $$$ dolls out there that do look rather nice, but my daughter has never expressed an interest in a doll with DS, mainly because she probably does not really see herself as that different from everyone else!

I emailed that seller about 2 years ago about the doll, and explained to her exactly everything that you guys have said, along with sending her about 30 pictures of newborns who have DS. Sorry to say it clearly fell upon deaf ears.

The Ebay DS doll is back - this time with a vengence! They are hideous and so angry looking. Obviously the maker wasn't informed that our children are such happy people! Which, all kidding aside, Emily is an incredibly happy girl. Thank God she didn't look like that when she was born. I might have pulled a Panda move on her and rolled over on her! EEEEEK! Looks like a freak show exhibit.
