My daughter wants an American Girl Doll with brown hair and blue eyes.

The daughter (age 15) of a dear friend would like to "give" her Samantha to us. She would like for her doll to go to someone she knows.

TLC Doll Hospital in Colorado has not responded to my multiple e-mails requesting an estimate to change out the eyes. (My friend agreed to this.)

Call me crazy, but I really don't want to buy a new or even a used doll when this one is available for us.

Does anyone have any suggestions?
