DNA..Horror
 

A couple who took a DNA test to silence pub gossips who questioned the parentage of their daughter got a nasty shock.The Czech pair, had grown sick of constant sniping from friends.

Their 10-month-old baby girl had blonde hair while they both had dark hair. So, to end the rumours, they took a DNA test. But the results showed that neither of them had the same genetic profile as the baby and could therefore not be the real parents.:eek: it is now believed their child had been mixed-up with another in hospital.

that must be horrible finding out your son/daughter isnt your real kid!!

but if i had brought them up , i dont think i could give that child away.....could you?:confused:

Re: DNA..Horror
 

oh my...that must be awful for them

What an absolute nightmare...not sure how I would deal with it at all after bonding with a child for 10 months!!!!!!! :(

Re: DNA..Horror
 

That depends if she was a good baby. They might be glad of the chance to swap for there real one :D

Bye the flashy I will give you that smack in the gob next time I see you :D:D:D

Re: DNA..Horror
 

Here's a case that took twenty nine years before a man realised he'd been given to the wrong parents at the hospital.

it must be really nasty shock!!
i wouldnt know what i'd do if i found out i was 'swapped':(

Re: DNA..Horror
 

I think there was another famous case in Canada in the '40's, that they made a film about.


Very often I think there must have been some Nordic Princess giving birth at Bramley Meade Maternity Home, in January 1965.:D

Re: DNA..Horror
 

I was there in June 1965 - :eek:

Relief - you have added January :D

Re: DNA..Horror
 

Come off it, you'd have loved to shove me around in a pram...infact you probably still would.:D

Re: DNA..Horror
 

I am sure you will let her put a big nappy on you. It would be nice of you not to soil it this time, like you did with your last pretend mummy. :eek:

Re: DNA..Horror
 

How awful, but I suppose you'd have no choice but to find your biological child, would be very hard though.

Re: DNA..Horror
 

It would be devastating to find out the child you had reared wasn't your own but could you stop loving it? You might be very concerned that your "real" child was well loved and cared for but, if it was, could you take it away from the only parents it had ever known? For me, the answer to both questions would be no. A little child only knows that it is loved and safe with its parents, whether they are the natural parents or not, and to hand it over to strangers, saying "You are not my child", would be cruel and selfish in the extreme.

Re: DNA..Horror
 

How awful. Can't imagine what it would be like to have to give that child up and bond with another after all those months.:(

Re: DNA..Horror
 

I think you're wrong there. It was about 9 years earlier.:D:D

Re: DNA..Horror
 

Iwere like that too Willow, I also used to ask to be sent to the local childrens home, how horrible is that:(

Re: DNA..Horror
 

A boy who lived near me, when I was a child, had been adopted just after the war. When I heard about it I wanted to be an adopted child too, it seemed very "exotic". I was quite disappointed when my mother assured me that I was just a plain old common-or-garden natural child. :p

Re: DNA..Horror
 

Was reading about this in todays paper and the couples are going to get their own children back. Apparently they are getting to know the children and hope to be back together before Christmas.

Re: DNA..Horror
 

I read an article about them too. One mother said she wished she could keep both children. They do realise it's going to take a lot of adjustment. I feel so sorry for them. :(

Re: DNA..Horror
 

Yes so do I but I think I would have asked a few more questions at the hospital. There were some discrepencies with the babies weights which should have been picked up on IMO.

Re: DNA..Horror
 

It is too easy for the nurses to get it wrong. When I was in Bramley Meade in 1965 the babies were only with you at feedtimes, and they once delivered me the wrong baby for feeding. I must admit that the baby DID resemble mine and my suspicions were aroused only because he seemed to have gained a lot of weight since the last feed. A check of the wristband averted disaster - thank goodness it had not become detatched.

Re: DNA..Horror
 

That was one of the things they brought up, how the babies weight had changed so dramatically. The staff told them it had been recorded wrong at birth.

Re: DNA..Horror
 

Maybe they should not cut the cord until mother and child are on the way out of the hospital.

Re: DNA..Horror
 

looks like they gonna swap back, i can imagine its gonna be sad:(

Re: DNA..Horror
 

I'll bet there are one or two children who wouldn't mind swapping their parents :D

Re: DNA..Horror
 

So thats why my teens like ebay they must think they can buy and sell em. :eek:

Re: DNA..Horror
 

It must be a very difficult time for them all, at least its going to be gradual and the babies are going to get used to the other set of parents before the swap, I suppose its better now than in a few years time. Hard to imagine what they're going through, thank goodness they dont take your babies away these days.

Re: DNA..Horror
 

The last I read about this was that neither parents will give up the baby they have reared but will live as closely as possible with the other family. Blood is important but love and bonding are what really count.
