Jourdeans immediately ordered a test to check her own results — which confirmed that the two women had been sent home from the hospital with the wrong families.
The pair were born 31 minutes apart at St. Both women told NBC they were the outliers in their family. Juneski said she never had the athletic streak that others in her family did. World Canada Local. It proved Mr Ahmed's allegations that the babies were switched at birth. Mr Baruah then advised Mr Ahmed to go to court and ask the magistrate to allow a swap of the boys.
But on 4 January, when the families arrived at court to carry out the exchange, the toddlers refused to leave the parents they had grown up with. Because we've raised them for the past three years, we can't just let them go," says Salma Parbin.
He was in my brother-in-law's lap, he held him tightly, wrapped his arms around his neck and refused to leave. Riyan, too, threw his arms around Shewali Boro's neck, began crying and refused to let go. Anil Boro says that swapping the boys now could hurt them emotionally because the children are too young to understand what's happening.
It's obvious the children are very attached to the families they are living with and the affection is reciprocated. In fact, when I visited the Boro home last week, the grandmother had taken Riyan away because she feared he would be taken away from them. An hour later, one of his uncles brings him back. The grandmother returns a little later, with a bunch of tiny silver fish for the child. As he goes happily to sit beside her, she asks me anxiously, "Is there a problem? Will they take him away?
The uncle too pitches in: "Look at his face, he's so loveable. How can we give him up? Riyan refuses to leave Shewali Boro's side even for a moment. I'll die if he goes away'," Salma Parbin says. I ask him if their religious differences could become an issue some day. He's God's gift, he's not Hindu or Muslim, everyone comes from the same source, from the same design.
They become Hindus and Muslims here," he says. Mr Ahmed says the toddlers will not be able to adjust if they are switched again now because the living styles, language, culture and food habits of the two families are very different.
For the mothers, though, the internal debate is all too visible - there's obvious attachment to the child they've been raising. But the one they carried in the womb also has an emotional pull. When the children grow up, they say, they can decide for themselves where they want to live.
