Where do they get babies from in movies and TV?

Ever watched a movie or a TV show that just happened to have a cute infant in it, and wonder how the casting directors got them? Are they part of a baby casting list?

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can't take it, and my heart is just going to cave in.

Works the same for extras…I was one before…so I know how that goes.

Are you okay?

There are storks. They find these little people in a special cabbage patch. From there, they fly them in.

You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.
