Not Your Child?

Hmmz interesting topic. I guess I would continue on with life as if nothing was different. I would raise my child regardless if he/she is not blood related. Of course, I would be curious about my biological child. However, I think I would regret giving-up the child I took home.

This happened in my city a year ago. The babies are now almost one year, and the families exchanged their babies to their "biological" ones, the correct ones. Besides, they signed a kind of contarct between them, regulating visits, studies, alimentation... willing to help each other if something happens in the future. Those two families are gonna spend christmas, new year and birthdays together, just to keep in touch and close to what they thought "wastheir baby"...

I have no idea what I would do if this situation arose, and suspect that many others would be the same. It would be hard to give up a child you have had for a year but equally hard not to have your own biological child. There have been a few cases where this situation has arisen over the years, and the families involved all came to some sort of arrangement although in at least 1 case, the legal system was involved to resolve the issue.

I am thankful that the hospital i had my son at put his bracelet and anklet on right in front of me and my fiance, so we know our son is ours. I also wore a matching bracelet with the same numbers on it. Each time the nurses came in to get him they checked our numbers when they returned with him, and everytime i took him to the nursery they did the same when i went to get him. I have no idea what i would do in that situation

I would want MY biological child. I would stay in touch with the other family though. 1 year is not that bad...if you found out at 10 years old - I am not sure what I would do.

i would probably exchange but hopefully the other parents involved would be open to having a very close relationship so you could always be connected to the baby you had nurtured and taken care of for a year and also to maintain support for that child as they got used to living with people who may be biologically family but were not in any way previously connected to the child. i cant even begin to imagine how hard that would be for the child and the parents to find out and then live with.

This is a tough question. I really don't know how to answer. A part of me says I would want my biological child but then again I would be so attached to the other child at that point I don't know If I could give it up. Tough one.

Man, I can't even wrap my brain around what I would do if that happened. Fortunately, we have pictures from the moments after birth, and she still has the same face, so I know she is mine!

Wow! That would be hardest decision of my life if that happened. No matter what I would try to make sure that I kept in touch with the other family. I would probably want my biological baby back and I would also want to have frequent contact with the infant that I had raised for a year.
