separated twins--what a shock

[TerryJ2]

The bad news is, babies were swapped by accident in a Spanish hospital. The good news is that the twins were totally identical, which is how they met as adults. You have to read to the end to get to that part.
I cannot imagine what this would feel like.

Wow! What an amazing story.

OMG! I hope they win the lawsuit. (and I don't say that lightly)

Here's one about adopted twins unknowingly marrying each other:

Both are very sad stories.

My gosh. Don't know what to say about either story. Freaky things happen and these are two of them.

OMG!!!! Yikes! What would you do if you married your brother or sister? It sounds like a Shakespeare play. Obviously, as the article said, they had a lot in common. And it is a very good argument for more openness in adoption, especially if you want to have bio children.

"The first right of any child is the right to their own personal and family identity," he said. "In this case, that right has been violated."

He's never dealt with adopted kids has he?

Just bizzare. Dude was BORN in the hospital where babies were switched and you can believe me when I say after 7 forms of identifying - i was STILL sure that I had been given the wrong kid after difficult child behaviors started. (lol but not really) lol.

Reminds me ... lI just finished reading "Look Me In The Eye, my life with asperger's," and the author talks about the birth of his son. He not only memorizes the numbers on his son's hospital ankle bracelet, he marks him a/w blk Magic Marker, LOL! So there is NO question they get the right baby back.
We can all learn something from aspies. (Or, aspergians, as he calls them.)
