There are 24,000 babies that are stillborn every year in the U.S., according to the March of Dimes, and it's a tragic experience for parents who deal with it. Often, because these babies are so small, there is not proper clothing available for them, and parents must turn to doll outfits to bury their lost ones in. Even then, it is difficult to find a garment small enough. Angel Gowns by Baba make burial gowns for miscarried, stillborn and babies that pass after birth in hospice and donate them to hospitals, hospices in the USA, funeral homes, and missionaries in 3rd World Countries, along with many accessories and mementos for grieving parents worldwide.
