00:00We began the process of adopting Xavi in February 2013.
00:04For us, it happened so fast. I did not feel prepared at all.
00:08It was kind of important to us to have an open adoption
00:11because it was incredibly important for the child to grow up
00:14knowing where they came from.
00:16When I would shop for Xavi, I could never find dolls that would represent his skin tone.
00:20So I decided that, hey, I'm going to try to create dolls of color
00:24to help promote diversity and raise awareness for children.
00:28It's been wonderful with people telling me how much it means to them
00:31to find dolls that look like their children.
