Those of you looking for Hispanic dolls

Have you looked at American Girl?  They have baby dolls and American girl dolls that come in different colors.  One of their characters, Josefina, is Hispanic.

They are pricey though.

    Yeah, I'll take a BIG FAT PASS on American Girl dolls.  and Yeah, Josefina is not Mexican...she is New Mexican...whatever that means.

    Thanks!  I think that right now, though, our problem is that we can't find soft dolls -- I don't want DD to bop herself in the head with a hard headed doll.  Great for later, though!

    Yeah, Maybe I am just still mad at American Girl for their Marisol doll back in 2005.

    You did help!  I just looked at the details for Josefina, and she's adorable -- the line is supposed to be "American" girls, so it wouldn't make sense for her to be Mexican, and I think they just meant to imply that her family now lives in New Mexico, with Latin heritage.  Perfect for us.

    DD's favorite "doll" right now is a frog. It looks nothing like her, but she seems to be fine with that!

    Thanks for the tip, though. I'm sure she'll be at the age soon enough when she wants to do all the American Girls stuff, Barbies, etc.

    Thanks -- that site has a lot of cute dolls!  I can't decide whether I'm offended by it or not, though...do they mean that you're adopting the baby dolls, or are they implying that if you need a Latina baby doll, it means you adopted???

    I love American Girl dolls! They can be so educational, and are better role models than Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus.

    Umm, not sure what you mean by that.  I was just confused by the wording on the site.

    In college I worked for American Girl customer service, and I think OP might've been referring to the "just like you" dolls that come in several variations. (Obviously, they don't come in every variation of human possibilities.) They also have "Bitty Baby" versions of the "just like you" dolls.
