My mom had a doll made of me one year for Christmas. She took a baby picture of me, and had a doll made that looked almost exactly like me.
Then she had one made of her sister from a baby picture of her sister. My aunt just passed away, and that is the only doll from my aunt's collection that the family is keeping. It meant that much to them.
My Twinn is a company where you can have a doll made to your specifications. Have one made of your child, or of a loved one from a baby photo.
Here's what I found on another board:
I just received an email from My Twinn (21" doll made to look like your daughter or son) for a special offer. I bought one of the dolls for each of my three daughters last year so maybe that is why I got this email.
Copied from email:
