Mom's, have you ever looked at your baby and wondered if she was actually yours? Could there possibly have been a mix up at the hospital in which you went home with the wrong baby? It has been known to happen.
Imagine if that wonderful child of yours whom you just love to death and just can’t fathom living without belongs to another couple.This is exactly what happened in Czech between two families.

Libor Broza and Jaroslava Trojanova (his partner) and Jan and Jaroslava Cermak who both have baby girls born on Decmeber 9 of last year, recently learned that their adorable babies do not belong to them..Mr. Broza grew somewhat suspicious after he noticed that his child Nicola did not resemble him at all. He might have accused his wife Jaroslava Trojanova for cheating, which resulted in the birth of their baby. Possibly adamant to know the trut, Mr Broza decided his family should be given a DNA test. The test concluded that Nicola, in deed was not related to them.

Jaroslava Trojanova Cermak who’s baby Veronika was also born on December 9, 2006 and at the same hospital as Nicola, were contacted and notified that the hospital might have made a dire mistake, and that there appeared to be a mix up concerning both babies.

The Cermak's agreed to a DNA test and learned that Veronika was not there baby.

Both families are planning to sue the hospital for ($510,000) in damages.

Police have been alerted to the situation and are now looking into it.

The hospital has launched an inquiry into what it called a "regrettable case".

I would think that it would be emotionally difficult to give up the child you are raising. How does one cope with having to make such a decision? When my kids were little, I just couldn’t imagine such a thing or rather I did imagine it, and thought there could be no way in which I could part with my baby. And the only possible solution would be. to have both children. I know that would not be possible but ,those were my feelings. Mind you there have been some trying times when I didn’t fancy the idea.

    Good to know that both families are all with who they were supposed to be with now, but I agree with you it would be a heart breaker...

    I saw this same story line done on a Lifetime Movie.....something like "switched at birth" or ????

    The parents did exchange the kids, but kept involved in each others lives. I don't know, personally I would think I would be so in love with the baby I took home, I don't know how I could give it up. I guess it would depend on the age of the children. How old were these two kids before it was discovered? Obviously old enough to have developed distinct facial features that led to the suspicions.
    What if the other parents had been horrible ones, and when you got your own child back it was an abused, evil monster?!

    These babies are only 10 months old.and have already bonded with their first set of parents. Pshgolisist believe that the children will adapt. But it's heartbreaking for the moms. Although they want their own children back, it's difficult letting go of the one you have grown to love and are bonded to.

    I once say a story where two babies were switched at birth. I don't recall how old one of the girls was when she took ill and died. The sad thing is. that ones her parents realized that it wasn't their baby who died, they went after the healthy child which was actually their ow. And the other couple had to return that child to them, leaving them without either child. That must have been traumatic.

    Yeah, I can't imagine how horrified these parents must have been, not to mention what the babies must be going through.

    I agree it will be heartbreaking, but they can meet often from now on so they get to know each other and the kids and families become friends. I hope they embed more safety measures and have some tag tied to the baby's feet that doesn't fall off easy until they get discharged.

    If that happened to me, I am not so certain that I would want to stay in touch. After mothering a child for nearly a year, I would find it difficult to completely let go of my maternal duties, instincts and love . In a way, I would always consider myself as being the child's mother. Therefore, if the other family was to raise her in a manner to which I find disagreeable, I don't think that I would be able to cope.
