Good luck Tom!!
Among the white Cabbage Patch Kids I had, there were a few with brown eyes, and one with light brown hair, but none with dark brown hair.
My Cabbage Patch had brown eyes and dark enough brown hair that I always thought we matched.

I'm so not awake. The carpenter is here fixing things. My landlord is not, which is probably for the best since I only managed a half clean up. And I just erased Burn Notice instead of hitting play. I'm wondering what the chances are of this guy finishing up in time for me to go to the farmer's market.
Tons of interview~ma for TomW!

I BEGGED for African American Cabbage Patch TWINS for Christmas one year. My parents had EVERYONE on watch for them. Apparently, my grandparents ended up finding them. Insanity. Boy has the Internet made things like that easier!

I think my mother had trouble finding Cabbage Patch kids at all the year I wanted one. They sold out like crazy. I had two. One had dark mustard colored hair and I think brown eyes and the other was a preemie with a little tuft of light blonde hair and I don't remember what color eyes.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
My mom worked in the toy department at KMart during the CPK Christmases. She's the reason the kids on my dad's side of the family had them. I had a regular, a preemie, and koosa. I say had because even though they are still in existence, they are now property of The Emeline. Em got a green eyes, dark brown braids CPK that shares her birthday. My grandmother had the Scottish one. I wonder if I can find one again?

Mom and Dad still have an un-opened Cabbage Patch doll from that year. They keep moving it...I don't know why they haven't gotten rid of it. But, anyways, they bought it just in case no one found the African American twins for me.

I just remembered I also had a cornsilk kid with bright red hair. I don't remember her eyecolor either.

Hell, yeah! Though, they're in a box in my parents basement...along with their high chairs and all their clothes. I went nuts over those dolls. I think I had a preemie too, but I can't be sure.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
See, we pretty much missed the Cabbage Patch Kids phenomenon in the UK. I remember it was on the news, though - we saw footage of piranha-like feeding frenzies of US shoppers mobbing toystores. It was all a bit jaw-dropping. (And, I have to admit - I always thought they were ugly dolls.)
Did you really have adoption papers with them?
