The mother, who is referred to as Sandra, even though that isn’t her real name, starts off by making a horrifying confession. “I knew that this wasn’t my child,” says Sandra. However, this was the point in time where the hospital’s staff dismissed all her claims.

It was around 3 years after their birth when the hospital confirmed their botch up. And that meant that they admitted to the shocking switched at birth incident. After finding out the scary truth, both families started to trace one another. Luckily, they found each other’s whereabouts. On that note, they thought it would be a good idea to become a part of the girls’ lives.

However, by the age of 10, the other couple filed for custody. And they took both the girls under their wings. Therefore, it left poor Sandra with absolutely nothing.
