Switched At Birth

This is an interesting story. The families of two French girls who were accidentally switched at birth in 1994 have been awarded nearly €2m (£1.5m) in damages by a French Court.

Both babies had been treated in the same incubator for jaundice and were then given to the wrong parents.

Interestingly, the error came to light 10 years ago when the girls were almost 11 years of age, but neither parent was even slightly interested in having their biological daughter, preferring to keep the daughter they had brought up.

Both parents have said it wasn't a difficult decision, but I bet it was. What would you have done in their position? And if you were one of the children, would you have preferred to stay with your non-biological parents?

I'd have stayed with the people who had brought me up. Even if your  biological parents were loaded I'd still stay with the ones who's reared me.
