Two boys who were mistakenly exchanged in Ba Vi were returned to their biological parents.
On July 19, Minh was returned to his biological parents, but he reacted violently and wanted to follow his mother Huong, making the two families feel awkward.
This morning, the two families of Mr. Phung Giang Son and Ms. Vu Thi Huong (in Ba Vi, Hanoi) were present at Ba Vi General Hospital to carry out the procedures of handing over the children under the witness of representatives of the hospital and the Department of Health.
Each family will receive 150 million VND from the hospital, along with travel expenses and DNA testing. The children will also soon undergo legal procedures to change their names, birth certificates, and household registrations...

Throughout the ceremony, Ms. Huong could not hold back her tears. "I wish to continue seeing my nephew - Minh, the friend I raised. I want Mr. Son's family to let me take care of him, to care for him like in the beginning," she said, choking up.
After the ceremony, Hai will return to his biological mother, Huong, and conversely, Minh will return to Son's family. However, when they got to the car, Minh refused to follow his biological parents, forcing Huong to follow.
Previously, the two families had intended for Mr. Son to raise both children. However, Ms. Huong said that everything still depended on the children's wishes. From the beginning of the incident until now, Minh has always wanted to live with his mother, Huong.
"I think Hai is easy, but Minh reacts very strongly. Last night, Huong told me that she was immediately scared that Minh wouldn't be able to get used to him," said Quyet, Huong's brother.
According to him, "in the next one or two months, it is likely that Huong will still work in the inner city and will not be able to return to Ba Vi with her children. Returning the children is probably just a formality, but in reality it will be difficult to do, it will take time for the children to get used to it gradually."
