Taking Steps To Avoid Your Baby Being Switched

Giving birth is a grueling enough task. Even those of us that haven’t given birth can agree that it is an excruciating and wearying ordeal. A mother in labor should only have to worry about one thing: giving birth. However, despite the lengths hospitals take to keep track of new babies, some parents take this responsibility into their own hands. Many parents will have their phone on hand during delivery and will immediately take a picture of their baby’s face after it is born.

A Grievous Decision

The uniqueness of this case gave the mothers little to no resources on their decision of what to do next. If they exchanged children, they would each be losing the child they have loved and cared for as their own for the past three years. Even if they did simply swap the children like they were trading cards, what kind of effect would that have on the children? If one mother took her biological child back, then the other mother would have nothing. There was no win-win situation.
