    You consider how you're feeling, and imagine that other woman must be feeling the same and go get and return babies and get godparent positions, 'cause no matter how much you wanna keep both kids you don't take a baby from it's momma .!

    well seeming as i had had the baby for a year i would most definately like to keep that child but get my actual baby too and sue the hospital that mixed up the babies- but im sure then i would have to hand over the baby i had to the actual parents- which would be sad.

    With everything considered, I would want to keep the child I had raised. I'm assuming the people raising my child would feel the same. If not, then it could get sticky. Whatever the case, I would want to have the opportunity to know or be involved in some way with my biological child, and I would hope the other parents would agree to that and have a similar desire.
    And I would REALLY hope they would be decent people. It would be rough, to say the least.

    Go to another hospital the next time. Hospitals that mess up are not safe.
