A mother has shared how she was left brokenhearted when her husband told her he wanted a divorce after he took a paternity test on their daughter and it came back negative.
Taking to Reddit, the woman explained that she never cheated on him but he still accused her of having an affair because their daughter does not look like him.
In a successful attempt to clear her name, she investigated her daughter’s DNA matches and found out that she and her biological child were ‘switched at birth.’
“She (biological daughter) was in foster care. I don’t think it’s going to surprise a load of people that the hospital we had her at wasn’t in the best area,” she wrote.
“She was taken home by a family who ended up under investigation, and apparently, when she was proven not their biological child, she was taken by the state.
“I feel terrible for that family but at the same time, so grateful to have found her safe and alive. We’ve started the adoption process immediately.”
The family claimed that they have sued the hospital for a large amount and is using the money to help them move state.
“We explained to our daughter that her sister is going to be coming to stay with us, and that we still love her very much. She seems ecstatic at the idea. Here’s hoping it works out in actuality,” she continued.
The mother also explained that her biological daughter does not remember the other family but she would still let them know what happened.
“For now though, I’m focusing on my daughters, and hoping to plan a beautiful life.”
After uncovering the truth, the mother said that her marriage is now stronger than ever.
“I love him more than anything in the world, and he loves me. We’ve been through hell and come out the other side, and we are not interested in breaking up, or ending the relationship, or anything like that,” she added.
