A mum’s life was turned upside down when she found out her baby girl was switched at birth. Her husband did a secret DNA test because the little one didn’t look like him. He was shocked to find out he wasn’t her real dad and thought his wife had cheated.>>>READ FULL ARTICLE>>>
The mum told her story on Reddit, saying: “I don’t know how it happened and I haven’t been able to stop crying all day. I never cheated. I love my husband, we’ve been together since college and he’s the love of my life, he’s handsome and kind and while I’ve slept with two other people, both were before we got together. There is no other potential father for our daughter.”
“We were married already and actively trying for a baby. I never cheated, I never would cheat, and I don’t know why he took that stupid test because I would never, ever cheat, but it came back negative and now he thinks he’s not her dad. I don’t know how to convince him it was a faulty test and I’m so scared.”
She told how her husband began to act “completely different” towards her and their little girl, becoming “cold and suspicious”. He kept asking to see her phone but wouldn’t say why. At first, she let him, but then she said no more until he told her the reason. He also became distant with their daughter.
“He stays in his office for hours on end, and I don’t know what he’s doing. I did not cheat. He accused me this morning, saying he’d done the test after realizing that our daughter’s eyes (brown) wouldn’t naturally come from ours (both blue) and that he wanted me to get out of the house. I didn’t leave and he locked me out of our bedroom and now I’m in my daughter’s room. This is terrifying.”
After talking with her husband, she agreed to take tests to show she had been loyal to him – and to find out why he wasn’t showing up as their daughter’s dad in DNA tests. She shared: “My husband was (understandably) distrustful of me for a while, but he apologized for the way he acted (which I didn’t need) and said that he wouldn’t try to kick me out of our home.”
“He did say, though, that if every test came back and I’d cheated, then he was going to ‘go scorched earth’. We did a few tests. Blood paternity tests for him and me, and our daughter, and we had an appointment with a chimerism specialist coming up, but that got canceled because my daughter is not biologically mine either.”
The couple, feeling lost and upset, spoke to a police officer about their situation and are now taking legal action against the hospital where she gave birth. “I don’t know what happened to my baby, and that is terrifying. I have my husband back, but my whole world was still upended, and I just wish he’d never taken that stupid test,” she shared.
” I’ve been sleeping in my daughter’s room, and I’m so afraid that she’s going to be taken away from me, but at the same time I want to know where my biological daughter is, and if she’s okay. I pray to god she’s okay.
“My daughter still doesn’t know the details, and we’ve been trying to keep this quiet. The last thing we need is a big scandal. I don’t want people who know us to look at her differently. She deserves better than that, she’s such a good kid, and she’s not some spectacle to be gawked at.”

Determined to find out what happened to their biological daughter, the couple has made it their mission to uncover how the ‘accidental swap’ could have occurred. Seeking advice, she asked Reddit users: “If we can find her birth family, I have no idea what we’ll do. I guess the best case scenario would be to get a bigger house and all live together, but I don’t know if we can afford that, or if they’d go for that, or even if we’ll be able to locate them, or if I’m just crazy.”
“This whole situation is crazy. I don’t know anyone else who’s been in a situation like this. I mean, are there support groups for parents of kids who got mixed up? I googled and nothing came up. Literally, all I’m getting are tabloid articles from trashy magazines that slap the faces of innocent kids on the same pages as celebrity sex scandals, and fiction. How do we tell our daughter? I mean we can’t tell her now, she’ll tell the kids at school and then it’ll be everywhere, but we have to say something.”
One person commented on her post, saying: “This is why when my daughter was born four months ago, me, my wife, and the baby each had matching bracelets put on by the hospital immediately. The baby actually had three. One tied to her medical records for medication, and two identifying ones, one on the wrist and one on the leg. She also never left the room without one of us. The hospital took this very seriously.”
Another person added: “Can you imagine being the mother and thinking ‘This is f***ing stupid why am I taking this test I literally birthed this child’ only for it to come back negative?” A third person said: “When we left the hospital after the birth of our last child I opened the envelope containing the picture of our kid they put on the bassinet to help identify the baby and I noticed she looked a bit darker skinned in the pic than in real life but chalked it up to bad lighting and my extreme exhaustion.”
“About an hour later we got a call from the hospital that they had mixed up the pics with someone’s Indian baby! Husband went back to the hospital to exchange pics and joked that we had at least gotten the right baby, right? Right?!”>>>READ FULL ARTICLE>>>
