Say you had a child and when the child turned 2, you got a letter saying your child was switched at birth. Would you want to get your child back or would you just want to keep the one you have raised for the last 2 years? What would you do???

I truely believe that mothers and fathers are not only from a womb or sperm, they come fromthe heart. Although the child may not be biologically yours, I hope you have created a bond. I would want to know who the biological child is and would maintain a relationship in the event that in the future you may need the child or the child may need you, (organs, blood, whatever), but I would never try to break the bond that the child created with their parent. I would become just an additional very close aunt as well as give a very close aunt to the baby I love with all my heart.

Oh wow...i would definatly want to know who my child is after all you know those 9 months are exiting and painful and would suck a$$ to bring home a child i didnt carry for 9 months. And if possible actually take back the child i really did carry for 9 months. so i would most likely want to have my child back and at least keep in touch with the other person who now has my 2 year old so my 2 year old and now there 2 year old can become friends and it would be a nice story..

I'd like to meet the child I had carried for those 9 months, and see if I couldn't at least be a part of their life. I could keep the one I got from the hospital, and take my own child to raise.

I'd want to switch back...and I'm sure the other family would want to as well. And I agree--families stay close, at least for a little while.
I would assure the child I'd been raising that I loved him, but this couple is really his mommy and daddy who love him, and count me as a second mommy.

Hmm, I think I would want the child that is actually mine.
I would, however want to keep in touch with the little one (and their family) I had raised for two years though.

Very difficult question! I will want to keep both! Blood is thicker than water, but still, even if you found out the other child is not yours, your feelings and love does not stop there..... I don't really have the answer to such a horrible scenario..

Oh my gosh, how horrible. I would keep the baby I raised for 2 years, but want the families to stay close so that we knew our biological children as well.

depends on what the other person wants to do if they want to keep the one they have taken care of for two years then you do the same if they want to take thier biological child than i would do the same.

I would switch babys and move next to the person who has your baby

since two years is not very long, i would trade back to my kid, but keep in touch and be really close with the other family.
