babies swapped at birth

how saddening

story here

Oh that's heartbreaking

how do you part with a baby that you have cared for, loved and cherished for that long? what would you do?

ive just asked my lot what they would do if we found out dd3 (18 months) wasn't ours - they all said they wouldn't hand her back.

shame poor people!

i don't think i'd be able to either.

nappyaddict I'm following you today

Did you get my email luv?

The only consolation is that they have found out now, and not when the girls were 5 or 10 or 15.

I don't think I could give up the baby I'd been caring for either, but OTOH couldn't live knowing my own flesh and blood was being brought up by someone else. It's a horrible situation

That is just so terrible, I just can't imagine how awful that would be.

Its going to be heartbroken for those 2 little girls too

What a terrible choice for the parents to have to make.

I hope the girls adjust OK.

DH told me about this yesterday. I don't know how I would react if it happened to me, very for all concerned.

Hopefully they will all keep in touch and continue to see each others girls.

This is about to be on the ITV news. Haven't read anything about it yet but IMHO I think they should swap back.

On now

Awful for the poor mum who is still breastfeeding the little girl, too! Seems horrible to have to give up to hand her over to her biological parents.

But at least they are both in agreement & seem to be taking the very semsible approach whereby each family has time to adjust to the new daughter over a period of time. A terrible situation that they seem to be resolving in a very dignified way. My heart goes out to them.

They have changed their minds and aren't swapping back.

Personally I think this is the wrong decision.

I'd want to have both babies but obviously that can never be. Maybe living in close proximity, leading on to an eventual swap would be the best thing. The children's future questions, if they are not given to their genetic parents, also has to be considered. What a mess.

I cant believe they are doing that. I really think this is the wrong thing to do.

One of the dad's disagrees with his partner and says they will have to swap back eventually. They are also discussing living in a commune and raising the girls in a big family.
