Since the baby is that little, it wont care now, but I think the parents would probaly save it as a keepsake...I think one that is "like" her in the coloring would be so neat...maybe just more special! But, like I said, a regular one will probaly be just as loved!

I have raggedies of varied colors. I have a set of black raggedies, and several with different colored hair (yellow, brown, pink, black) Variety is the spice of life and what I love about these dolls is the non-traditional way that they are traditional. Does that make sense?

Since she is a "traditional" doll, always thought of as being "white", I would make her like the story book character. When the baby is older and notices the difference, make another doll that looks more like her. My grandkids have dolls of all ethnic backgrounds, they are all of mixed heritage.

I honestly think Raggedy Ann dolls are creepy looking! I would make anything soft and cuddly- but not Ann :D
And I don't think color matters but that's just me.
I'm so happy for the new parents- that must be so exciting after such a long wait!!

I make dolls. Just give me a little time and I will find the right cute raggety for you. Also, You might want to purchase some doll fabric for the body in a tan color...those look real nice..a light tan...
