You discover your wonderful one-year-old child is, because of a mixup at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to try to correct the mistake?

  • i would go back to the hospital and if i couldnt trace my baby then i would keep my other baby and explain when its older how i love it so much and i did nt mean for it to happen.and no matter what i will love it forever
  • I would never do that. I have had that child for a year. I nursed it, cared for it, bought it things, named it. As far as I'm considered that child IS mine.
  • I don't know1 I would want to have both kids!
  • yes
  • Yes I would. It would be better for everyone to have there right child.
  • Nah, I've had the child now for a year and couldnt bear to give it up. As i am rasing it i would let it know that I was not its biological father and that I would be happy to try and find the biological parents for them, but that I loved them and felt I was their father. As for the other baby I would just hope and pray it wanted to find me and wait for it.
  • no way! but i would want to make sure the other baby was safe and loved.
  • No I'd have already planned how I was going to murder him while he was playing in the bathtub on his 5th birthday for the life insurance money.
  • yes
  • No. A child is yours because you LOVED it and raised it not because you bore it
  • Yes I would... because the other baby is a part of you. You helped make that baby. No matter how cute or sweet the baby that is not yours is... you need to give him/her to it's parents.
  • no
  • wow thatz a hard choice I dont think I would because that would be like my child now and I would get attached to that one kid so I don't think that I could give up that one kid.
  • Yes, I couldn't live with knowing that it wasn't my own baby and though it would seem selfish it would be in the best interest of the child to be with its birth parents.
  • uhh...yeah i want MY BABY not someone elses!
  • wow - i think i am going to have nightmares about this poll. way too hard to think abt it right now propb go on instinct. i would prob. keep my baby (after all you raised him/her) but would definitely want to see the other baby and maybe keep in contact every day. u no, lots of playdates and stuff.
  • no....not at all. It was the hospitals mistake, a sad mistake you have to deal with.
