Clinic Finds True Parents of Babies
Thursday, December 20th, 2007As reported by the Associated Press, a clinic in southwestern Germany said it has found the real parents of two infant girls who were mixed up and sent home with the wrong couples.
The St. Elisabeth clinic in Saarlouis, Germany plans to have the two babies returned to their biological parents within days.
The girls probably were mixed up this summer, while they were being bathed, and remained with the wrong parents for about half a year, the clinic said.
The mix-up came to light when one of the fathers took a DNA paternity test. His wife did the same, and both tests determined they were not the real parents of one of the girls.
A local councilwoman, Monika Bachmann, said psychologists would be offered to help the families deal with the clinic’s mistake.
