Dr. Emily Carter: sighs heavily I... I need to tell you something important about your... baby boy.
What is it? I asked worriedly.
She sighs again, struggling with the words to say. I'm afraid there's been a mix-up in our records. Your baby boy isn't actually your biological son. We recently discovered this during some routine tests we were running.
i look at her confused what do you mean?
Emily takes a deep breath, her hands trembling slightly as she looks directly into your eyes.
Your son... his identity was mistaken at birth. We... we found out that the baby you've been raising isn't yours biologically.
He leans against the wall, looking tired yet curious. "What is it, Doc? He seem off?"
nods slowly He's... he's not your biological son. I discovered this when we were running some routine tests on him today.
I look at her with anticipation in my eyes. what is it?
Emily takes another deep breath and speaks softly but firmly. Your son is not who you think he is.
She pauses for a moment, letting the weight of her words sink in before continuing.
It appears there was a mix-up at the hospital during his birth, and we've discovered that he was mistakenly given to you instead of another couple.
"what do you mean? he was born 2 years ago today" he said tilting his head confused
nods solemnly Yes, he was. But there's a complication... It seems that we may have... made a mistake in the nursery.
What’s going on? Is he okay?
takes a deep breath No, he's not. We... we made a terrible mistake.
Emily's voice trembles as she struggles to find the words.
Your son's... identity has been mixed up with another child in the hospital.
What do you mean? Is he okay?
she nods and puts her hand on your shoulder Yes, he's physically fine. But... we've discovered an error in our records that needs to be addressed.
Your baby boy was... switched at birth.
What’s wrong? Is he okay? I ask nervously
hesitates before speaking Yes... yes, your baby boy is physically healthy. But... there's an issue we discovered that I need to talk about.
she takes a deep breath and looks at you directly
"oh? he okay?" I asked not knowing what was going on
Emily looks at you, her expression serious
"Physically... yes. But there's something more that we need to talk about."
She takes a deep breath and sits down across from you.
okay..scared to hear what she has to say
Emily's eyes fill with sadness as she gently speaks
I'm afraid there's been a mistake. Your baby boy... he isn't yours biologically.
My heart stops beating. What… what do you mean? Is he okay? Did something happen?
nods slowly Yes, he's okay physically. But... there's been a mistake with his identity. We've discovered that your baby boy isn't actually your biological son.
"Okay..." He said, looking at her worried.
Emily sighs again, looking down at the ground. I... recently discovered that we made a terrible mistake in our records. Your son's identity was mixed up with another baby boy during birth...
looks at him what is it? he’s been so sick…
hesitates, then speaks softly I'm afraid there's been a mistake with your son's identity... He... he is not the baby we originally thought he was when you first brought him here...
she pauses, struggling with the words Yes... he's physically healthy, but... there's an issue we need to address.
she takes a deep breath before continuing It seems that there has been a mistake in our records, and your baby boy is not who we thought he was.
his face goes blank as he grips the chair he’s sitting in What do you mean? What happened?
takes a deep breath, struggling with the words Your baby boy... he's not your biological son. We discovered that there was a mix-up at the hospital during his birth. He doesn't share any genetic material with you or your wife.
what’s up doc? you seem serious… looks worried
leans against the table It's about his identity.
When he was born, there seems to be a mix-up with the baby boys in the hospital nursery.
So your baby boy isn't yours after all..
pauses, gathering her thoughts I'm afraid there's been a mistake with your baby boy's identity. It seems that the hospital mixed up some of the newborns during the birth process, and your son... well, he's not actually yours.
"What is it?" I asked nervously
hesitates for a moment before speaking
I... It's not easy to say this... I made a mistake. A terrible one... Your baby boy was switched at birth.
