Samantha is finally home 🥹
I wanted this specific Samantha when I was 9 years old … but I was poor and my parents couldn’t afford her. It only took me 31 years to get her, but she’s finally home with me. I always knew she was meant for me. I’m so grateful to finally have her in my collection.
It’s interesting that Samantha is 9 years old, and that was the age I learned about her. I’ll never forget my first experience with Samantha at 9 years old. I had dreams about getting her for Christmas. I begged my parents to get me her for years …
I’ve seen so many stories similar to mine, where an adult collector said their parents couldn’t afford to get them an American Girl doll when they were little like my story. So reading those stories here, made me feel less alone, and another reason why I enjoy this community. We get each other 💓🫶
