This raises all kinds of questions about nurture versus nature, the meaning of family, and the ability to cope when your perception of reality is proven false.From the Huffington Post...
On a spring day in 1953, two girls were born at Pioneer Memorial Hospital in eastern Oregon. They grew up happily, got married, had kids and became grandparents. Then last summer their lives were turned upside down.
Kay Rene Reed Qualls found out that she and DeeAnn Angell Shafer were switched at birth.
Although in many ways this is somewhat similar to an adoption, the distinguising features are that it wasn't intentional and no one knew the truth for 56 years. The question that remains is should it matter?
What if it happened to you?
