Two Austrian women switched at birth meet 35 years later

Two Austrian women switched at birth meet 35 years later

Two women, Doris Grünwald and Jessica Baumgartner, were accidentally switched at birth in 1990 in Graz, Austria. The mistake was only discovered 35 years later when the women met and realized they had been raised by the wrong families. The mix-up occurred at the hospital where the two were born. Due to a clerical error, the babies were given to the wrong parents. Both families were unaware of the mistake until the chance meeting between Doris and Jessica. The women were shocked to discover the truth and decided to undergo DNA tests to confirm their suspicions. The tests proved that they had indeed been switched at birth and were not biologically related to the families who had raised them. The revelation has had a significant impact on the lives of all those involved, as they come to terms with the reality of the situation and the profound implications it has on their identities and relationships.
