This happened to my brother in 1989 but in Ukraine. There was a woman who was rejecting her own son, and thought that my brother is her son. The woman was of Armenian roots and her baby was born with a bit diff hair color. Looked like it was dark red. She kept snatching my brother.. and screaming " He is my son!!! No!" " That red haired boy is not mine!" She even tried to breastfeed my bro. o_o' lol I think it was baby war there... snatching babies there and back. The women would not stop.
This almost happened to me. They switched me and some girl that I dont know in the hospital. But my mom saw the girl and she knew that it wasn't me. :) and it's true. I'm her actual daughter. Thank GOD she noticed the difference soon enough.
@Arlenassister i am sorry for your loss and what your family had to go through. i hope everyone is doing well. i have seen this movie many times and i cry everytime. i am the same age as kim and arlena, they are actually older then me by only a couple months. but anyway,take care.
The mom's comment at 1:13 is not correct. O is the universal donor blood type. Type O blood can be given to anyone, even people with Type B. It's the other way around that would have been dangerous because people with Type O blood don't have the immunity for the B enzyme. You can donate Type O blood to someone who is Type B but you can't give Type B blood to someone who is Type O.
This sorta happened to my cousin and me. We were born a day a part and a nurse switched our wrist bands n took my cousin to my mom and me to my cousins mom. When my mom saw the baby she knew it wasn't hers n tried to tell the people but no one believed her. They took my cousin home n left me in the hospital, a few days later my mom's Aunt saw the baby n said that she was certain it wasn't my moms n they went to the hospital n did blood tests n thankfully found out the truth n switched us back.
I am the oldest of the "Twigg Children". I know that when i had my children i knew what they looked like the first few hours i had them. I knew all birth marks and so on. So when someone has a baby 4 days before another, kinda makes me wonder how no one knew something wasn't up. I lived all this. For the ones of you who cried thank you for the sympathy. It truly is something you never get over. The movie wasn't close to the truth, the book is. Research was done for everything in the book.
It's not a book, it's a true story. Arlena Twigg and Kimberly Mays were switched at birth. Arlena dies after her surgery (at age 8 or 9) and her parents sue Kimberly's father for custody of Kimberly.
Kimberly's mother (Arlena's biological mother) also was sick and died when the girls were 2.
yes it was a planned switch. read the book. why? can't you you play this movie. there are movies that are total crap compared to this. it might not be the same as the book.however,the acting and direction was of good taste.

@caulfieldrye Nobody conspired to do anything. Stop being so dramatic. The switch was nothing more than a huge, inexcusable, terrible mistake.
