Two months later we were told: in our maternity hospital a baby swap had indeed occurred. Our real child had been mistakenly given to another family, and we were handed someone else\u2019s boy.<\/p>\n
The scariest thing was that such cases had already happened at this hospital. The management had tried to cover up the mistakes, but we found evidence.<\/p>\n
I didn\u2019t know how to go on. The son I loved with all my heart was not my blood. But he was still my child.<\/p>\n
My husband needed time to come to terms with it.<\/p>\n
And somewhere in this world our real child is living \u2014 and perhaps he too is growing up in a stranger\u2019s family.<\/p>\n
