Craig O'Halloran :
This forgets to mention one family was rich and the other poor

1989 - Both families chose to keep the children they had raised. Gavin was raised by Meg, a more affluent family, while Robin was raised by Sandy, who struggled financially. They referred to each other as brothers. Robin eventually chose to move in with his bio mum, Meg, at age 15!

Should have raised them as brothers. Like shared custody

I would’ve remained solid friends with the other family and made sure that we kept updated with everything and invited them to all special occasions

At 20 months the loss of an caregiver can cause irreparable damage to a growing child. As is seen in cases of adoption when the child struggles to form bonds with a new caregiver. I understand ethically that you want the baby you gave birth to. But I think they made the right decision for them at the time.

One was a rich family, the other poor. A lot of resentment.

This story is so very old. Robin is married and has many children now and he has a loving relationship with his biological mother and not the mother who raised him. Gavin has come out and is happy having fun with his friends. They all get along but Sandy seems to have been left out of everything.

As a mother there is no way I could just give up my child after 2 years of loving them because of a baby swap. Awful situation

Definitely swapped for my biological son, children adjust at that young age and you could have kept in contact

I wouldn’t be swapping them back, shared time is what I would like. Plus a huge pay out to raise them.

The families should have had professional support to work with them in transitioning both boys back to their birth parents over a period of time.

I felt so sorry for Sandy, that Gavin (who didn’t want a relationship with her) was just a bit spoilt and wanted the nicer life. I understood why Ryan was resentful too. However the fact both are adults now and neither have a relationship with Sandy is suspect to me. I get kids wanting the richer parents, but there seems to be something more there for Ryan to still not speak with her…

What good could possibly come from not switching them back.

I agree. They ended up doing a lot more damage because they didn't swap.

Swapping them at 2 years old would have been horrific for them.

I totally disagree with these parents. When they discovered the switch, they should’ve rectified it then, because now it’s the children, that have to wonder what their life might have been.

HutchyBoo :
I think if the child is only 2 years ago you could swap that that age maybe up to 4. The child would have no recollection of it at that young age.
