My question was not specific enough.  I don't really want an exact
look-a-like (done with a photo) but a "likeness"  It's for my deceased
sister in law and an exact replica would be too creepy.  Thank you
very much for your suggestions; and any further ones along the lines
I'm looking for would be great.

Please note it should be a likeness, not an exact representation done by photo.

I located another service called My Twinn. Unfortunately they appear
to have gone out of business.

Dear rnacht-ga,

Please take a look at the following image.
http://68.15.21.151/uploads/researchers/dolls.JPG

I can provide you with information on how to order a look alike doll like this.

The doll is approximately. 18-20 cm. tall and everything is handmade.

To personalize the doll they need at least one picture of the person
and also a full description with details on how she/he dresses, shoes,
complements.....  and also hobbies, professional life, anything
thatcomes to  mind. With all this information the doll can be made.

Would you be interested in this service as the official answer to your question?

Thanks,
Bobbie7

I found another service that specializes in unique, handmade
look-alike dolls that are made in the image and likeness of someone
you love.

Each of the dolls is handcrafted from porcelain-like hard vinyl, with
cloth bodies. All they need from you is a photo of the child that will
serve as a model, along with some descriptive information.

Here are some examples:

Would this service or the previous one interest you?

Linda's Look-A-Like Dolls
=========================

Linda's Look-A-Like Dolls by  Linda Brennan, Master Doll Maker
http://www.lookalikedolls.com/index.htm

Construction: 

?Most dolls are 14"-26" and most are moveable and poseable. Some have
an all porcelain body and others have porcelain head, shoulder plate
half arms and half legs attached to a cloth body with an aperture
inside to bend arms and legs. A doll stand comes with the doll.?

?Glass-eye dolls have artificial upper lashes and painted bottom
lashes. Painted-eye dolls have painted upper and lower lashes. Hand
painted eyes add to the character and realism of Linda's Look-A-Like
Dolls. The additional time and firings required for painted-eye dolls
necessitates the additional charge of $50.00 but it's well worth the
extra cost! ?

Prices:

 Baby - Toddler $300 (Glass Eyes) $350 (Painted Eyes) 
 Pre-Teen - Adolescent $350 (Glass Eyes) $400 (Painted Eyes) 
 Adults $400 (Glass Eyes) $450 (Painted Eyes) 

?It takes me approximately 2 weeks to finish a Look-A-Like doll. To
begin creating your Look-A-Like Doll, I will need the following:

Photos: 

I need front profiles that will clearly show the shape of the face,
mouth, eyes, and eyebrows. At least one photo with a smile and one
without. Also a side profile that shows the nose and chin if possible.
All photos are returned with the doll.?

?Hair:?A tiny swatch of hair is extremely helpful in getting a close
match when selecting a wig for the doll. Photos NEVER show the true
hair color.?

?Eyes:  good description of the eye color is essential and paint chips
are always helpful, especially if eye-color is unique.?
