How an At-Home DNA Kit Unraveled a Major NHS Mix-Up from Birth
Two British women discovered they were switched at birth by the National Health Service (NHS) over 50 years ago, thanks to an at-home DNA test kit.
The revelation came after one of the women gifted herself a DNA kit and discovered unexpected family connections, leading both women to dig deeper into their family histories.
Upon further investigation, they realized they were each raised by the other’s biological parents.
The women, born in the same hospital, have reportedly faced an emotional journey coping with the truth.
While cases of babies being accidentally switched at birth are extremely rare, this story underscores how at-home DNA testing has become a powerful tool in uncovering unexpected family truths.
