what would you do? if after having a baby they sent you home from the hostpital, you have this baby for between 6 months and 1 year.Then the hostpital contacts you to infom you there was a mix-up,the baby you have is not really yours. You have the option to keep the baby you already had for almost a year, or get the baby back that is really yours. If you could only have one of them which one would you choose????

I would choose to keep the baby I loved and have come to love. But I would keep in close contact with the other family. I guess that is a tough decision but it would be best to sit with the other family and decide together what is best.

Man! I hope you are not asking this out of personal experience. This is so tough. I would want to have my own baby, but would also want to keep the baby that I brought home form the hospital and know and love. The best thing for the babies would probably be to leave them where they are, but I don't know that I could do that either. How's this, declare the other parent's incompetent and keep both. I know, I know, that's not funny. It's just the only scenario that I can think of that would solve the issue of keeping both babies.

Poofy,
that is a very grueling decision,
but if there is a child that is your
very own blood, I would imagine
I would choose him/her.
There is a case going on now
in which about 2 years ago
two babies got switched at
birth from 2 couples, and
it has been devastating for
all involved, so as it stands
now, both couples have
decided to take back their
own child but continue to
interact with the other.
Let us hope this works.

You don't have to choose. But of course you have a responsibilty to your blood.
If I was in the same situation, I would welcome my biological baby with open arms. No matter how much time has been lost, and no matter how much change you've gone through, it is not your baby's fault. Your child will love you as much as they have been loved by you.
As for the other baby, you already have a connection. That connection does not have to be broken. You can still make a difference in the child's life.
Remember, you are human. It is in your nature to love.

That would be an extremely hard decision to make. Of course, none of us really know what we would do until we are actually faced with a situation like that. I think that I would decide to have my own child back but keep in contact with the child I had raised for that first year. My reason: every child has the right to know their real biological parents. I think it would be difficult for both children if they thought that their real parents didnt want them. If you still keep in contact with the child you thought was yours after you returned them to their real parents, they would know that you loved them like your own but did what you thought was best for both children not yourself. But like I said, I dont really know what I would actually do in that situation and I pray that I never do.

I'm greedy, I would want both (even tho i know that wouldn't be possible) ever since I gave birth 2 years ago i just felt like I was mom to all, I feel like it's my responsibility to take care of all the little ones... if any child was hurt or needed love I wouldn't mind providing it.

I would pick my own blood. But if the baby was a toddler capable of remembering me (3-4yrs) I would keep the one I had from the beginning

Gosh, that would really be tough. i would take my blood though for genetic reasons, but I would some how find a way to keep in contact with the one I loved first too, I don;t think the parents would mine as they would also be attached to "my" child...
