Asian Bean Bag Baby by Yolanda Bello?

I have an Asian bean bag baby by Yolanda Bello. Number on his neck 3888FA. He is approx. 9 inches, wearing a green onesie, bald, tongue partially sticking out of soft smile; left hand clenched shut, right hand fingers spread wide open. Stubby toes, tiny ears, undershirt not removable; snaps shut the onesie inside with little clear buttons seen on the outside.

I can't seem to get the photos to load. I would really just like to know the year and place of his birth, if/when/where he was sold in stores and his name, please.

Thank you. Rose

The Yolanda Bello dolls are mostly made by Ashton Drake Galleries and the babies were made in a lot of sizes, shapes and cultures.
Although there are a large number of similar dolls listed for sale, I did not find one that resembles your description.

It looks like many sellers are not placing 'bean bag' in their description so that is also a problem and the few that did state bean bag appear to be 12" and you show yours as 9".
If there was a picture it's possible your doll could be located but there are too many of this type of doll online to sort through without knowing what he looks like.
You provide a good description but with just that information, I did not find anything on your doll.
However, I believe you would have to find your doll still in the box to be able to provide answers to all of your questions as most dolls are used and that type of information is usually lost.

Since you have the doll you may have better luck with a search.
