if you discovered that your wonderful three-year-old child is, because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours?
Would you want to exchange the child to correct the mistake?

Fix your maternity ward, Blizzard!
Yes, I'd want my biological kid.0 -
I have no freakin' idea what I would do. I know that I would want to to keep the 3 year old that I thought was mine, but I would also probably want my biological child, and at the same time, I'm not sure I could rip my biological child from the only people he/she has ever known. Love is sacrifice.0

very hard to answer.

This pretty much sums up my feelings, too. I really thought about it a lot when my son was little because there had been several switched at birth events around that time. I loved my son, not just because he was mine biologically, but because I had bonded with him and I couldn't have imagined having to hand him over to someone else if there had been a mix up.0 -
This actually happened in a town near where I live a few years ago. Two girls switched at birth. One of the girls' "parents" were both killed in a car accident, so she was being raised by her grandparents. When the switch was discovered, the living mother of the other girl fought to get custody of both children, the one she had been raising and her biological child. Really, really sad story.

Wow... I don't know! I mean, I would definitely try to handle it as smoothly as possible because kids are sponges and its more about them than me, in my opinion. I'd do my best to work it out with the other parent because yeah, I would want my biological child but then again I've been raising another one as my own. Its all about what would be good for the kiddos.
STOP ASKING SUCH HARD QUESTIONS. *pout*0 -
I would want both, but I would probably opt for keeping the status quo but meeting up a lot if both children were happy. My lovely boy is just right for me and I would never willingly part from him.

But what a lovely person to take them both! 0 -
Nope I would keep the child I have grown to love and cherish.
I would however get in contact with my biological child and become a major role in his/her life.0 -
I keep the kid I raised and make myself availible for the biological child as well.0

I would want to keep the child I had raised - because they would be mine. I would also want to contact the family that had my biological child and see if we couldn't work out a relationship between all of us. That way everyone is in everyone's lives!
In a perfect world....but then again, in a perfect world my child wouldn't have been swapped!0 -
I wouldn't want anyone to take my 3 year old away from me. But I would like to "know" my biological child. Hopefully, the other parents would feel the same way.0

I don't understand the whole love of having children. If you really want to have one, you can just head over to the mall and pick up one or two.
The great thing is, when you're bored with them, they're biodegradable.0 -
very hard to answer.

Keep the one you raised...
I would be curious about where my real child was, too....
So I don't know, it would be so freaking complicated;
But I would love the child I had raised for 3 years.. .0 -
Wow what a question! Especially for me to think, I am a mommy of 3 kids.
If i had to choose, the bonding thing would be something that you can't take away from anybody. I would want them both probably. But that may not be possible. So hopefully the other family would let me into the childs life so I could be involved with my biological child too. I couldn't give up something i've raised since birth.0 -
I don't have kids...but I think I would want so badly to have MY KID.I know that it would be hard to say goodbye...so I'd hope that we could switch and then continue seeing one another--maybe nanny for one another or have "visitation" or something. Not sure--I'd be devastated either way.0

Have three daughters. I only donated the DNA for the youngest. I love them all. If I found out the youngest was not really mine, I would love her no less and would be no less her father. I'd go looking for my fourth daughter, though.0
-
i just dont think you could switch back at that point. it would be too traumatic and that child would probably suffer for it for the rest of their life.0
-
I'd want both. I want all the little children of the world...0

I have no memories whatsoever of being 3 years old-- I'd assume a slow process would make it easier for them to adjust. I just can't imagine KNOWING that someone has my child.
The original question said 1 year --if after 1 year would you switch?0
