A
pair of 12-year-old girls who discovered they were accidentally
switched at birth want to stay with the mothers who have been raising
them rather than go to their real parents. The girls have grown up just a
few miles away from each other in the town of Kopeisk in eastern
Russia. Their mothers gave birth in the same maternity ward just 15
minutes apart in 1999, and their infant daughters were inadvertently
given the wrong name tags. Their true identities were revealed after the
ex-husband of Yuliya Belyaeva, one of the mothers, refused to pay for
child care because his daughter, Irina, looked nothing like him. After
conducting several DNA tests it emerged that that neither adult was
Irina’s biological parent.
