Abstract
A method of matching at least two persons possessing dolls of similar characteristics for the purpose of having the parties communicate with each other about said dolls in the fashion of adoptive parents communicating about biological siblings is disclosed. After choosing a doll, children complete an 'adoption' form associated with their doll and send a copy of it to a clearing house. The clearing house matches the children according to predetermined criteria and sends a letter to each child about the other child in the match. Letters are exchanged between the children and a communication link is established.
