AFTER her children chose to live with her ex-husband following a difficult divorce this woman spent thousands on lifelike human baby dolls to help her deal with the loss.
Stay-at-home mum Liz Watson, 42, from Virginia, has been a self-proclaimed ‘reborn’ mother since 2016, after discovering the hobby online and in YouTube videos.

Her children struggled with the move and so Liz made the heartbreaking decision to let them move back to their father s house in Kansas, US, in June 2016.
But after this she felt a sense of loss and anxiety about how much of her children s lives she would miss out on.
So she entered the world of reborn baby dolls, and her collection began, buying her first doll in December 2016 - just five months after her children moved back in with her ex-husband.
