I need help with an adopt-a-family gift. It's for a 10 year old girl who has asked for an African American baby doll. I'm guessing that there might be some developmental delays, but maybe she just loves dolls/babies. The suggested spending is $25 for the toy and $25 for clothes. I can bump that up a bit, but I don't want to be too far out of line since she has siblings that will also be receiving gifts through the adopt-a-family program.

My DD wasn't into dolls, so I'm looking to the experts! What's a nice doll for an older girl in that price range?

How the Target Our Generation doll? Sort of like American girl dolls aimed towards older girls....

This one is beautiful, but a little expensive and not many available accessories. And the ones available are not that easy to find: http://www.amazon.com/Corolle-Premier-Calin-Naima-Baby/dp/B004KU9S9K/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1386250608&sr=8-14&keywords=baby+doll+african+american

I have seen these at Target and TRU, so have lots of available accessories:

There are several Baby Alive versions (the same doll sold with different starter/accessory sets) so I would probably get one of those if it were me.

This one isn't available online, but maybe it's in a store near you. Looks perfect for a 10 year old, and she looks like what a real AA girl would look like. I like her hair.

I picked up a $13 Baby Alive - Feel Better set at Tuesday Morning today. It was a good deal, but I'm not sure about it. I like the doll that TwinFoxes linked a lot better. I'm not sure about it though since the wish list said 'baby doll'. I got a gift receipt, so they could exchange it if it's now what she was hoping for. Still debating...

I may have to buy it, I like it so much! It's just too cute. The glasses are just the cherry on top.
