Switched at birth: Parents set to keep other couples’ kids following hospital mix-up
- 9 years ago
Of course, the important question is: which parents?
Two children, a boy and a girl born in Johannesburg in 2010, were accidentally switched at birth.
The mix-up occurred when nurses accidentally confused the identity of the two children. The mistake was only discovered when one of the mothers checked her child’s DNA because the father of the child did not want to pay child support, as he did not believe he was the child’s father.
Turns out he was correct, but not for the reason he originally thought.
The case went to court as one of the mothers originally wanted her biological child back, while the other mother wanted to keep the child she had raised.
Although an official court ruling has not be finalized, South African courts have made an informal statement that they believe the children should remain with the parents who raised them. The mother who originally wanted her biological child back, has since changed her mind after realizing she loves the child she raised.
