Many in the realistic-doll community know that others may not understand their reasons for wanting a “reborn,” aMandolinz writes

As opening credits roll in the first episode, a woman leans over a crib in a dimly lit nursery with a white rocking chair and wooden rocking horse. Then, the doorbell rings: Dorothy and her partner, Sean, are greeting a woman they’ve hired to be a live-in nanny.
For Mandy Marks, a reborn artist who custom-creates dolls for clients, the doll-making process often starts with a text: “My customers usually contact me that way after they’ve been to my website, Chrysalis Dolls,” she told the Cut, at which point she and the client start discussing how she can craft their “dream baby.” They’ll decide on everything from size, to hair texture, to packaging specifics .
While one could make the argument that many well-made dolls resemble actual babies, reborns are so convincing, they can sometimes pass as a real newborn. In May 2016, a New Hampshire police officer smashed a car window to rescue what he thought was an abandoned newborn. “I went to put my finger in its mouth and it was all resistance,” the officer told ABC News of the reborn doll, which was draped with a blanket and had a bottle of milk. “[But] It felt like a baby. It looked like a baby.
However, were a reborn to become more than a transitional object — which appears to be the case in Servant — psychiatrists say it could severely hinder a person from accepting reality. In general, Saltz says, she wouldn’t “specifically recommend [a reborn]” to those dealing with overwhelming feelings of grief or sadness.
