hat happened to a friend of mine years ago. The little girl was two when he found out it wasn't his daughter.
Close incident > the little girl was five.
The wife told him when she handed him the divorce papers and restraining orders.
He was a good guy, had no idea it was coming. She was evil personified.

Made up stories on Reddit are more common that baby swaps but babies get swapped.
We literally had ours with us every step of the way.
Honestly… babies look different, would have recognized a different baby.

Yeah it’s called adoption

right, no way at that age you could swap. But it'd be so weird to me thinking "my child is out there being raised by someone else" daily. Then I'd probably beat myself up for even saying "my child" when of course I'd still love the 5 year old I've bene raising. I wonder if you'd feel compelled to try to be involved in the other kid's (yours in reality, but raised by the other parents) life? What a mess

If it were me, I would hope I can be sane enough to have a conversation w the parents and we force a friendship so our kids can hang out that way we get to see our kids grow up without fricking with their heads. As they get older, ideally we’d come together as a family and let them know the truth and that both kids have 2 dads & 2 moms that love them unconditionally
Yeah, this is the best thing to move forward I believe. Try to find the other parents (praying to God they are relatively normal), get together to sue the hospital as quietly as possible (the hospital will settle for millions for this not to get out), and get a plan together where the kids not only live near one another but go to the same school.
Then let them in on the revelation at say 16 on what happened and why their best friend who was born on the same day and looks a lot like one of her parents is this and as good as her own sister. Honestly they might figure it out on their own as some fricked up variation of the Parent Trap. Definitely emphasize that the two moms and two dads love them unconditionally, and they get to decide what to do from there for their own lives. Got to be careful with this because it could easily frick up the kids.

I honestly would. So long as the other family is relatively normal, I think you’d need to do that just for the peace of mind. They’ve got to have the birth and video records of every kid born that day and shouldn’t be too difficult to narrow down who the kid was switched with. Plus with the 23&Me stuff out there, one of the kids is relatively likely to find this out inevitably anyway. If they’re being raised by cool parents that you get along with, then basically merge the families in all but name and residence.

Yeah I’m not 100% certain but I think due to Covid a lot of places are keeping the babies in the parents’ room.
At least they did for ours.

I know every hospital is different, but when our daughter was born, she never left the room and they immediately tagged her with a matching bracelet as me and the wife. I would think that has to be standard nowadays.

I got to the end of that story and audibly said "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKKKKKK"

These mistakes can happen, a bracelet can slip off in the nursery, although very unlikely. But there have been reports that surgeons amputated the wrong leg or arm, removed the wrong organ...

This is an example of karma farming on Reddit. If this were true it would make national headlines.

Babies all look the same. They got one. That's all that matters.

It wouldn't be the first time a hosptital swapped babies by accident
I bet there are quite a few other cases of this out there that people have no idea about

It wouldn’t if this happened to me. Keep in mind this could be easily frick up both the kids for life. If it were me I’d try to find the parents of my biological kid, we settle for $3 million+ at least a piece with the hospital since the hospital sure as shite wouldn’t want this getting out, and then try and plan out the kids’ lives for the next 13 years.
You’d make sure they were in the same school (and with the settlement you could definitely get a good one for the kids), organically introduce interests and hobbies the other kid has, and encourage the two of them to be friends to the point of hopefully becoming best friends and having joint birthday parties.
If one asks if they’re adopted, you tell them no since they technically aren’t due to actually being switched. But if they ever make the connection that the other’s parents look more like them than their own parents and the other’s parents have a unique bond with them that they don’t have other friends’ parents, then you tell them the truth. If they don’t figure it out, tell them when they turn 16.
The end goal should be the feeling is that she wasn’t robbed from her parents but gained an extra set of loving parents and was given a sister (among other potential siblings) she wouldn’t have had. After a couple of months for the shock to wear off, you’d want it to be that they’d think it’s actually a good thing it happened to them and be a fun story to tell people at parties. They have the right to know, but you have to be very careful with this.

I find it hard to believe a hospital would have that level of negligent but maybe.
Our daughter never left the room after she was born much less my arms for the first 24 hours.

How old is the child? I remember in the past hearing how babies would get switched at birth at the hospital. Couldn’t imagine that happening in this day and age though
Eta missed that part in the very beginning. Yeah 2017, that’s hard to believe that could happen. Hospital could easily be sued Id think.

Yeah, because if the other family are a bunch of crackheads this makes it alright. If they’re not normal and are super fricked up, I’d try to get and keep both of the girls.

which raises the second question...what the hell happens when it's all straightened out? Do both families jsut throw up their hands and be like "well it's already been 5 years so this is fine". Do they attempt a swap? That'd be weird as hell
I think both families would keep the kids they had been raising, but they may all be each others lives from that point on?
