Mothers discover their babies were switched at birth after chance encounter

Argentine Babies Switched at Birth

A chance encounter between two Argentine mothers led them to discover the private clinic they had delivered their babies at three weeks before had mistakenly switched the infants.

According to Santa Cruz Sentinel, the mothers met while waiting with their daughters at a pediatric clinic in San Juan. They began discussing their suspicions with the clinic’s stories and found an interesting coincidence: The baby each woman brought home corresponded with the birth weight of the other woman’s child.

“When my baby was born by C-section, they told me straight away it was a beautiful girl weighing 3.1 kilos but when they gave her to me they said she weighed 3.8 kilos and was a breech birth,” Lorena Gerbeno told Spanish-language C5N. The other mother, Veronica Tejada, said she was the one who had a breech birth with her 3.8-kilo baby.

With their suspicions piqued, the women exchanged contact information. Lorena, a lawyer, then filed a criminal complaint and requested a DNA test to determine the girls’ maternity. The results confirmed their theories: The babies had been switched.

Both women are reportedly considering legal action against the hospital. Still, they agree the story had an impossibly happy ending.

“I spent three weeks with a baby that was not my daughter but I gave her all my love and knew that the other mom would do the same,” Lorena said shortly after reuniting with her biological daughter. “Thank god this nightmare is over.”

Is Nicole Kidman Katie Holmes’ secret friend?

Katie Holmes just quickly settled a surprise divorce from Tom Cruise, and although there’s a lot of speculation that Tom’s fervent involvement with Scientology caused a huge problem problem for the marriage, especially as far as daughter Suri is involved, the Church of Scientology is said to have not been involved in their settlement negotiations. Scientology was also thought to have played a part in Tom’s split from second wife Nicole Kidman (and it also played a key role in his split from first wife Mimi Rogers, oddly enough all of Tom’s wives left him at the age of 33. That’s a coincidence, but it’s still a little weird.)

Now US Weekly has a source saying that Katie Holmes and Nicole Kidman have been clandestinely talking on the phone (part of Katie’s stealth leaving the marriage involved her changing her getting a secret, disposable cell.)
