The French families of two 20-year-old women have sued the hospital
where they were mistakenly switched at birth and are demanding $15m
compensation.
UPI was there:
The families made a court appearance Tuesday in Grasse as part of their lawsuit, which is seeking a total of $15 million.
Sophie Serrano told the court her daughter, Manon, suffered from
jaundice when she was born in July 1994 and she was placed in an
incubator with another newborn girl with the same condition.
Serrano said she and her husband discovered when the girl was 10 that
they were not her biological parents and she had been switched with the
other girl when a nurse removed the infants from the incubator.
Serrano and the other family’s parents, who asked to remain
anonymous, met their biological daughters when the girls were 10 years
old, but they chose not to switch the children back. Sophie Serrano told
the Nice Matin newspaper, however, she “instinctively loved” her
biological daughter.
“I have raised three children but in my heart I have four,” Sophie Serrano said.
The lawsuit names the clinic, two obstetricians, two pediatricians and an auxiliary nurse.
