Saw this in the news. Incredible it took the mother two years to read the baby bracelet. Moms Swap Toddlers After Hospital Baby Mix-Up Tuesday , March 31, 2009 Two mothers in Russia have been forced to swap their two-year-old sons after DNA tests revealed the children had been mixed up as newborns by a careless nurse. A court ordered the two heartbroken women to exchange the boys they had raised as their own, according to Russian media reports. The error was uncovered when one of the mothers, Anna Androsova, discovered her son's maternity ward ID tag actually had the mother's name Zarema Taisumova on it. Androsova tracked down the Chechen woman, saw the blue-eyed boy and declared, "This is my son." But Taisumova refused to swap the children, dismissing the claims of physical resemblance. The hospital in central Russia ordered DNA tests, which came back with definitive results — the boys had been mixed up. Androsova initially pleaded with her family to keep Nikita, the boy she had raised for two years as her own. But she later decided to pursue the exchange through the court. Weeks after the switch, Taisumova was still deep in shock, interviewed on Russian television with her biological son playing on her lap. She has changed her dark-haired and brown-eyed biological son's name from Nikita to Ali, but said she would continue to love the other little boy whom she had named Adlan. Both children are reportedly struggling to adapt to their new families. The maternity ward has blamed the error on a lack of staffing. foxnews.com Baby mix-up forces mums to swap toddlers April 1, 2009, 12:15 pm Two mothers have been forced to swap their two-year-old sons after DNA tests revealed the children had been mixed up as newborns by a careless nurse. According to Russian media reports, a court ordered the two heartbroken women to exchange the boys they had raised as their own. The error was uncovered when one of the mothers, Anna Androsova, discovered her son's maternity ward ID tag actually had the mother's name Zarema Taisumova on it. Ms Androsova tracked down the Chechen woman, saw the blue-eyed boy and declared: "This is my son." But Ms Taisumova refused to swap the children, dismissing the claims of physical resemblance. The hospital in the city of Mtsensk in central Russia ordered DNA tests which came back with definitive results - the boys had been mixed up. Ms Androsova initially pleaded with her family to keep Nikita, the boy she had raised for two years as her own. But she later decided to pursue the exchange through the court. Weeks after the switch, Ms Taisumova was still deep in shock, interviewed on Russian television with her biological son playing on her lap. She has changed her dark-haired and brown-eyed biological son's name from Nikita to Ali, but said she would continue to love the other little boy whom she had named Adlan. Both children are reportedly struggling to adapt to their new families. Adlan, now called Nikita by his biological mother, misses his Chechen mum and his older brother says he loved the old Nikita more. The maternity ward has blamed the error on a lack of staff, explaining only two nurses were caring for 20 newborns. The nurse responsible for the mistake has been sacked and the hospital's head doctor Yelena Prostsevich said there is little else it can do. au.news.yahoo.com Mothers raised wrong children for two years after hospital mix-up Two mums had their babies mixed up by hospital doctors and raised them as their own for two years, it has been reported. Last Updated: 3:44PM BST 31 Mar 2009 Zarema Tiasumova and Anna Androsova swapped their children back after DNA tests, the Daily Mirror said. The truth was revealed when Mrs Androsova and her husband went for DNA tests with their doctor in Mtsensk, central Russia, who checked hospital records. "It was a nightmare," she said. I loved little Nikita but somehow always knew something wasn't quite right. There was no family resemblance and my husband was suspicious," the paper quoted her as saying. But Zarema, who named the child she raised Aldan, initially refused to swap him for her real son, called Nikita. The children were only swapped when Anna took a case to court. Ms Tiasumova said: "I can't turn off my love like a switch or a light. "I loved him for two years and will always feel I am his real mother. Of course, I am happy to have my own son but you can't help the way you feel. Just sitting outside Aldan's house made me feel closer to him." telegraph.co.uk Mums get wrong babies and raise them as their own for two years By Laurie Hanna 31/03/2009 Mums get wrong baby Two mums had their babies mixed up by blundering hospital doctors and raised them as their own - for two years. Devastated Zarema Tiasumova and Anna Androsova have finally swapped their children back after DNA tests. But Zarema is so upset she still sits outside the other boy's house to be close to the child she brought up as her own. Anna's husband thought she had cheated on him when the baby she had been given developed dark skin and hair. The truth was revealed when the couple went for DNA tests with their doctor in Mtsensk, central Russia, who checked hospital records. Anna said: "It was a nightmare. I loved little Nikita but somehow always knew something wasn't quite right. "There was no family resemblance and my husband was suspicious." But Zarema - who called the lad she raised Aldan - at first refused to swap him for real son Nikita. She only handed him back when Anna went to court. Zarema said: "I can't turn off my love like a switch or a light. "I loved him for two years and will always feel I am his real mother. Of course, I am happy to have my own son but you can't help the way you feel. Just sitting outside Aldan's house made me feel closer to him." I can't turn off my love like a light. I loved him for two years and will always feel I am his real mother. mirror.co.uk * * *
