Switched at Birth Girls Want to Stay With Wrong Moms

Unfortunate, but beautiful story with a great outcome since they both decide to stay with the moms who raised them. True parents are the ones who raised and cared for you, don't necessarily have to be the biological ones. Best of luck to both families.

I'm glad to hear the families are becoming close - that way the girls can still know both sets while remaining secure in the only homes they've known. Very mature decision making!

Tribute to both Moms, Salute!

Apparently, both sets of parents did a good job of raising them so they are to be congratulated.

The reporter in the article should have used the word "biological parents" instead of "real parents". I am adopted and I found my biological mother back in 2004. This doesn't mean I don't love my parents; the people who raised me ARE my parents, but I can get to know and love my biological mother too. Truer words have never been spoken more, when said: "Love is something that you can always make more of". Just because each girl loves the families who have raised them, and the parents love the daughters they brought home from the hospital, doesn't mean they can't learn to love their biological parents too.

Check out the TV series "Swithched At Birth" on ABC Family. It is in hiatus at the moment but I hope they bring it back for another season.

As kids we always teased siblings saying they were switched at birth. This is not supposed to ever really happen, this has to be devistating. When my kids were born, I never left their side and always had a watchful eye over them until I could bring them home from the hospital.

it shows both are loving, caring parents, very touching... best wishes to both familes.

Blood runs deeper than water, but love runs deeper than blood.

Now this is how you solve a difficult situation. My hat goes off to both families and may they have a great life.

Good Choice by the Girls. Both are happy with the Parents that raised them & that is OK.......

DNA does not make a family. True family bonds are so much stronger. I am glad that everybody understood this. I just hope that there are not troubles later down the line (Like the ex-husband and the child support)

I angered a lot of Nurses when I refused to let them leave the room with my son. They legally cannot take a child without the parents permission so he had all his bathes, shots, and checkups right in front of me. I would not budge. Now I am glad I did.

That's understandable. Ever hear of maternal bonding?

The people who raise you ARE your real parents....

Says alot about how they were raised, that they want to stay. Good job to the moms and dads for loving the daughters so much. Sure is in contrast to C.A. and other sick moms we read about.

This story brings to mind the stories in the book The Usurper: an Other Stories. That one was brought to a conclusion. However, I like this story's development so far.. The girls are bonding very well and their parents are adapting well to the new reality.

i wonder if the guy still has to pay child support??

I spent over 45 years doing genalogical research on my Smith line. I could only get it back to my Great-Great Granddad, who was named Elisha Smith. I decided to have my DNA tested so that I could possibly connect with the Smith line from which I descend.

I was shocked when the results came back. I was not closely related to any Smiths in the world. I was genetically a Green or Greene. I was confused. I reviewed my hard data. I started with the 1910 census for my dad's hometown in Illinois. "IT" jumped at me right off the page. My Grandma's next door neighbor was a man named Green.

I was able to locate several of the man's descendants using the the internet. One man sent me a picture of Mr. Green. There I was. I looked very much like him. I think that my Dad may have known but dedcided against telling me.

Mr. Green's two sons died from a rare form of cancer. I had the same cancer but with great medical help, I still survive. Science and my curiosty came together to reveal an indescretion over 101 years ago. I am glad that I am here.

160k isn't enough. My mother would have gladly paid twice that just to get rid of me.

I came home from school one day, I was about 17 years old. My father was at work and as I came in the door I saw my mother sitting in a chair with tears in her eyes. She told me to sit down because she had something to tell me. I wondered, now what have I done? It was hard for her to get the words out, but she managed. She told me that I was adopted at birth. I had never known this. She asked if I would like to meet my real mother. I said no. I had nothing against my real mother as found out that I was very sick when I was born, and would have died if she kept me. Mom asked me if I had any thing I wanted to ask. I said yes,"Whats for supper tonight". I saw that there was no need to start a drama after all of these years. Now at 65 years old I still feel good about my decision.
