Veronika left and Tanya right were mistakenly given. |
It all started when two women were waiting to give birth in a hospital in Pozhva on March 7, 1978. The babies were not given names to distinguish them.After giving birth, Mrs. Rimma asked the doctor to see her baby's face, because she wanted to check if the baby girl had a birthmark like her older daughter, but she didn't.Rimma remembers one time when someone gave her the wrong baby while feeding and she switched it back.
But when Rimma's husband Anatoly returned home, he was furious when he saw that little Veronika had a small birthmark. As she grew older,Baby Veronika has blonde hair and blue eyes while both parents have dark hair and eyes. This made Anatoly sure that his wife was not faithful.
Before Veronika was a year old, Rimma went to meet the woman who gave birth in the same room as her, Yulia Savelyeva. "I looked at their baby Tanya and saw that she looked very much like my older daughter," Rimma told the newspaper.Theworldnews.
However, Ms. YuliaAt that time, she refused to accept that her child had been swapped: "She went to Veronika and said there had been a mistake. At that time, of course, I refused to give up my Tanya. My husband loved her very much. How could I let someone else take away the child I had raised? And I also did not believe that the doctors had made a mistake."
But as the child grew older, Yulia herself began to have doubts, so she asked someone to take a picture of Veronica and send it to her. When looking at the picture, everyone who knew her confirmed that the little girl looked like the couple.
There was suspicion but no evidence to prove it. Only recently, when DNA technology developed, the two families decided to test and the truth came to light.
Although shocked, both Veronika and Tanya thought there was no need to break up the relationship that had been there for decades, so they did not return to their real parents' family. Now they have two parents, their children have two grandparents, and that is happiness.
AboutVeronika, thoughShe had an unhappy childhood because of her father, but now she lives happily and is an inspector in a large factory. On the contrary, Tanya is divorced, she cannot work because of poor health. It is too late for the law to hold the hospital responsible.
