Baby mix-up – February 5, 1992

Well, I must start off by saying that you have some very interesting topics. You really make us think. I think that I would probably keep the one I had, even though it was not my natural child. If you had the mixed up child for a year, then you had grown to be attached to the baby and to love it. You have watched it grow and learn to eat, walk or crawl and maybe even talk a little. I guess it would all depend on what the parents of the other child wanted to do. That is really not the sort of thing I could make a definite 100% sure decision on, unless I was in the situation, and I think I’d probably wonder even after I had made my decision whether I did the right thing or not. I think if I chose not to do anything, then I would always wonder where my child was and how it would feel toward me if it found out that I knew all along and didn’t do anything.
