Switched twins not to reverse the swap<\/p>\n
THAILAND: A hospital mix-up involving twin girls who were
\nseparated at birth by accident 16 years ago has been resolved,
\nwith the families agreeing not to reverse the swap, reports said
\non Sunday.<\/p>\n
In a case that has captivated the Thai media this week,
\nBangkok mother Supansa Pornprakhun discovered recently that one
\nof the "twin" daughters she had raised was not her biological
\nchild.<\/p>\n
The real twin had been switched with an unrelated girl at Hua
\nChiew Hospital and taken home by another family.<\/p>\n
The mistake was uncovered when a resemblance between the
\nidentical sisters was noticed by an acquaintance of both the
\ngirls, who study at different private schools in the Thai
\ncapital.<\/p>\n
In a statement read out by a school spokeswoman, the two
\nfamilies said they had agreed to continue raising their
\nrespective children as they had done since their birth. --AFP<\/p>\n
