so it can happen for real rather than films.. must be tough for both families. Btw, what would you have done in this case? any ideas?

=================

Whole story

Two families in Russia are suing their local maternity hospital for giving them the wrong babies 12 years ago.

The truth only emerged after the ex-husband of one of the mothers refused to pay maintenance for their daughter, saying she looked nothing like him.

DNA tests in the Kopeisk town showed she was not related to the parents.

Police later traced the girl’s natural parents, who were found to have been raising the other family’s child. Neither girl wants to leave her home.

The two families in the town in the Ural Mountains are now demanding 5m roubles (£101,000: $158,300) in damages.

But they cannot press criminal charges against individual staff because so many years have passed since the babies were handed to the wrong parents.

It is hard to imagine something like this…and it is completely understandable that the kids don’t want to leave!!!

Oh i have thought about this before 2…i know it is very much possible esp with the kind of useless, lazy bums we have in our hospitals as “staff”. So whenever there have been a birth in our family, we have been very cautious :chai:.

Im such a vehmi person, im sure at my own time i’ll most probably freak out more for the fear of this happening then my own delievery :eek:. I’ll probably bribe people in the staff to keep alert :halo::smack:.
