Mara & Clara,I have heard of cases like this one was a three month old baby it was easy to locate the parents and give the children back .To me if the children are grown up and a bond is there it would be hard for such families to let go.Switching babies at birth still happens but as for me I know the parents I have are my rightful parents because once you see me you don see my papa(in almost everything).That DNA testing is important because I nor fit go train another person pikin or get bond with another person pikin.

This is the first time I’m visiting the family section of NL, but this is the best place to discuss this subject.

Have you ever had doubts that you’re not the true child of your parents? Or that you’re not the true parent of your child? Or that one member of your family must have been adopted because he/she looks/acts so different from the rest of the family?

Have you considered that you or your child or that family member could have been SWITCHED AT BIRTH?

Months ago, I read 2 separate incidents of children who were mistakenly switched at birth and discovered it years later. One happened in South Africa, the other happened at Bogota Colombia.

When I was a kid, I watched a movie with my family called “Switched at Birth” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switched_at_Birth_(film)
Today, for some reason, I remembered the film and googled it. It was based on real-life story in America.

Then I found this page and I recommend that you all read it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babies_switched_at_birth#In_reality
Full of real-life situations where it was discovered that babies had been switched at birth. Some ended happily. Some were just painful to read, like the Japanese truck driver who was 60 years old when he discovered that he was from royalty and had been switched at birth :’(


Babies switched at birth is rare, but it does happen. And the consequences can be really huge and expensive.
It can happen due to mistakes from midwives and hospital staff.
It can also be malicious. I’m sure many of us have heard at least one story of a midwife ‘stealing’ a healthy newborn baby and selling it, while lying to the parents that their baby died, or substituting another baby instead. Or the one where one of the parents connives with the midwife to replace a female baby because they want a baby boy. SMH.


I wonder how often this happens in Nigeria.
But then remember that in Nigeria, we generally are very poor at recording data, keeping records, and conducting proper investigations.


This is another good reason why DNA testing is recommended for children. It’s not always because of suspicions of cheating. But also to assist medical history.

If you’ve had such suspicions about yourself or anyone, please don’t panic! And don’t start stupidly blaming enemies or village people or witches/wizards/Satan (rme). It's also not by yelling "God/Allah forbid!" and doing prayers. It can happen to anyone. Thankfully, we live in an era where we have scientific tools to investigate these things. If you can afford to, please do DNA test to calm or confirm your suspicions.
Sometimes, you don’t even need DNA testing (which is very expensive). Blood genotype tests may be enough.
