r/Bestofupdates A Paternity Test Revealed MY BABY ISN'T MINE! 

First story. I found the next update on Reddit. They found her bio daughter. She was in the foster system. Apparently she was removed from the other home by the state. Op is adopting her to bring her home, and then they're going to move away. She doesn't mention the results of the lawsuit (a lot of times people aren't allowed to), but she does say they have "pretty significant resources now." So we can interpret that.

First story: Sue that hospital for every penny they're worth. This is the easiest malpractice lawsuit to win.

First story reminded me of my own birth. Apparently there were two couples with the same last name, however the other baby was male while I'm female. My mom still jokes about how paranoid the hospital staff was about making sure everyone had the right wristbands, but after that story, that paranoia was well justified.

First story: holy cow. I feel so bad for OP. I say she's right to sue the hospital because I assume when a baby is born, they are taken away to get cleaned and examined and then placed back in the room with their parents. But switches like this happen far too often at times and are devastating. When I was born, it was still during the time people go around kidnapping newborns (dunno if it's still happening today), so my mom made sure to that I was brought right back to her. I really feel for OP and hope a bright outcome is in the cards for her family Second story: What...in the world...is this story?! The whole family knew the husband cheated and told him to keep quiet, tells OP about it (probably thinking he was going to die so "time to let the cat out of the bag"), and then pretend nothing happened while playing happy family AND STILL BROUGHT UP OP MARRYING THE GUY?! Like how about no! Getting married knowing your fiance cheated cause of a "weak moment" and then knowing it was swept under the rug by everyone is a massive betrayal! There's no way a woman would want to marry someone like that. OP dodged a bullet by not marrying this guy and entering this gaslighting family. Third story: This is why I dislike people who get drones. They tend to abuse it for the dumbest reasons so this guy got his karma by teasing a dog. So the update was swift justice and the sweetest ever. So he played a stupid game and won a stupid prize then tried playing the victim...UNO REVERSE! Hope those drones get taken.

Story 2: What did the mother expect? Of course OP would freak out about the whole thing! And the fact that the family would keep the cheating a secret is Red Flag City

FIRST STORY: That is so hard. At 5, you've bonded with your daughter & she is yours. In other rare situations like that...families have visitation with their biological children. And both families should sue the hospital!!! SECOND STORY: The fiancé 's family is "religious"? The Bible gives only two acceptable reasons for divorce...Abandonment & Infidelity...Infidelity is such a betrayal even the strictest evangelicals acknowledged this! And I seriously doubt the would-be mother in law would have been so quick to dismiss the cheater if it was her son who was the one betrayed.

On the switched baby: The parents of the switched baby may not have their baby either. Where I live at, a hospital system had accidentally round robin'd the babies in the delivery room back in the 80s. My cousin wasn't his parents', and his parents didn't have my biological cousin either. It took 20 couples doing 400 sets of DNA tests, on the hospital's dime, to place the kids with the proper families... and it took my him developing Leukemia at 14 for any of it to come out. Obviously, most of the parents decided to finish raising the kids they were given thanks to 14 years of bonding, but a few dumped the kids on their biological parents.

Story 1 is literally my worst nightmare, I was so paranoid about this before we had our son to the point we elected to never have our baby leave the room.

I would really like to get another update on the first story. While the big question was cleared up another even bigger question came up. Couldn't police possibly reach out to the hospital and make them investigate who's babies were born around the same time and contact these families to make them take tests?

Story 3 : "You don't own the space area over your house". If the drone was flying low enough the dog could catch it from a table, there's no way it was flying from over his house.

First story: does anyone else remember that CreepyPMs video RSLASH did? Or maybe it was another one, but anyways... is anyone else thinking that the kid in that story might've been switched by that nurse who admitted on her deathbed that she swapped over 100 newborn babies for fun? *EDIT: okay, turns out it was actually SSSniperWolf who reacted to that.

If someone was terrorizing my dog with a drone, it wouldn't be the dog who smashed it; and it wouldn't be the dog having medical bills.

I remember Dabney said when Lily was born, the were all given matching braclets so she wouldn't get mixed up with other babies. Guess the hospital in Story 1 didn't do that.

First story: my mum was a social worker (until she got fired for being too nice), and the law is that a child under the age of, I think, 8 is considered "abandoned" after a year without contact. The law considers the swapped babies to be your own. You don't have to worry about her being taken away but might be able to work out visitation with your daughter's parents.

Technically Op does own the air over his house. It's illegal to fly a drone in a housing area without a permit. My dad is a licensed drone flyer, and he has an app on his phone that tells him where it is legal to fly, and how high. My nephew calls his drone BUG.

I'm so pleased there was justice for that poor dog. Dogs have no way to understand a huge buzzing thing dive-bombing them! The neighbour sounds straight-up sadistic for harassing an animal that way. The small claims suit backfiring is some measure of sweet karma, but he definitely deserves fallout from the FAA too. Suck it, flyboy.

My mom was almost switched at the hospital, the nurses said that they were just playing a sick joke on my grandma but she was a tough no nonsense kind of woman and raised hell the second she realised that she wasn't given her daughter. Joke or no joke, it's weird to imagine what life would have been like if my grandma wouldn't have been at the nurses' throats about getting the wrong baby.

As someone who is not a parent, I’m sitting here wondering wtf you’d even do in a situation like the first story. Like, after raising the brown-eyed girl for 5 years, she’s definitely your daughter. That’s the relationship the 3 family members spent 5 years building; this little girl’s whole life. Logically speaking, I’d say you keep them switched, BUT, that completely ignores the emotions involved in knowing that the child you carried for 9 months and delivered isn’t the child you’re raising, and not knowing where that child is. I’m at a loss for what to do in that situation, too, and realistically I think the best solution is whatever the two families can work out between them if they manage to find each other.

Newsflash: there are going to be times in your marriage that are 10x more stressful than prepping for your wedding. If you can’t handle that initial stress without making poor decisions, you’re not ready for marriage.

I’m pretty sure there is a support group for situation like this. I’m there for the op because literally there situation is awful and idk what i would do if I was there

As a polygamous person, I keep saying this again and again. Polygamy is only ok when 1. You are very upfront about this part of you when entering a relationship and your partner has clearly and totally expressed they are fine with it 2. You tell them whenever you start up a new relationship or set up whatever communication works best for the both of you in that regard Otherwise it's cheating. That fiancé is the worst, kick him to the curb.

That last story: I actually just got through the certification process with the FAA to be a drone pilot and when I heard that on top of flying low over OP's dog and private property, but also flying that high near an airport? That dude needs to have his drones confiscated before he seriously hurts someone- what he's doing is illegal for very good reasons!

With the baby mixup in the first story, the scary part is that it may not just be 2 babies switched. It could be all born that day were off by one or something crazy like that where lots are effected not just 2. There are no guarantees, and the more people the more complicated it gets since each would likely feel similar.

2nd story OP please stick to your guns. This family is trying gaslighting the hell out of you. They are terrible clearly manipulative people who think that telling you when their son cheats is bad and a moment of weakness. IMO block all of them and give their son his stuff back and never speak to any of them again.

First Story: Wow that first story is absolutely insane. I couldn’t imagine raising someone else’s kid for 5 years and someone raising mine for the same amount of time Second Story: OP simply dodged a bullet with that guy because that family is insane Third Story: I love that karma against that neighbor

prove himself and his loyalty... Right... There's no loyalty to be found there. There is absolutely no reason to cheat. Being stressed is NOT a reason. Being scared is NOT a reason. "it meant nothing" is NOT a reason. Good on OP for ending it and not planning on taking him back.

Story 1, the daughters bio parents MIGHT have OPs kid. The kids could be mixed up with multiple families

For the first story: either faulty test, oooooor babies switched at hospital... I've read about it online many times and it is TERRIFYING to say the least.

Switched baby story: One reason I haven't seen mentioned as to why it is super important to find their daughter's birth parents, and their own birth child, is sharing family medical history. Adopted kids often run into issues later in life without this information, and the same would be true here. Ex. As a female, their daughter will be asked about any history of breast or ovarian cancers to determine when certain screening tests should be started. Then there are the hereditary congenital defects that don't always present right away but can have significant impact if not identified for monitoring, like bicuspid valves in the heart. Being able to share and get that info is very important.

Last Story: OP, be really really careful and stay on watch because that a**hole is gonna 100% try to get revenge on your dog. I suggest you to gift him a DVD copy of John Wick, just so that he has a clear understanding on where he does not want to be.

Please... please do so much more of these updates, it is nice to know what happened after. How their life went on. We all say "I would never" but we all had to go thru something to not allow things anymore.

If the wedding is so stressful imagine them having a baby

The first story reminds me of how my mom and dad told me how they were given the wrong baby twice at different hospitals. There’s four of us and the the first happened with my younger brother in 2000 my parents went to a mainly white people dominant hospital (they’re Mexicans) and the thing was the baby was a darker skin color and on the bracelet was a completely different Spanish name than ours. My parents pointed it out but the doctor didn’t believe them and actually got pissed at my parents for telling him he’s wrong and thought they were lying or they couldn’t understand him (notice my dad is a Mexican American and was born in the US from Mexican parents and English is his first language, my mom was the Mexican with little English). It was to the point my dad and doctor were going to fight but a nurse saw the bracelets and saw the different names and quickly grabbed the baby and went to find my brother, who was given to the family of the baby they gave my parents who were also Mexicans but with darker skin. When my parents got my brother apparently the doctor was still pissed and left the room and didn’t talk to my parents for the rest of their hospital stay and only through the nurses. From the nurses apparently the doctor didn’t tell the other family what happened just that a nurse came in and took the baby and then gave them their baby with no explanation since I think the other family know little English. The second time was in 2004 with my little sister at a different hospital and they were more friendly. This time at least the baby had a similar sounding Spanish last name and skin color. The nurses quickly got it but after giving the baby to my parents before taking the baby back and went to look for my sister. Turns out she was still in the nursery sleeping before she was given to the other family and the nurses apologized profusely. To think this could’ve happened to my family is insane and makes you wonder how often does it actually happen or how many kids are switched without knowing.

R/nuclear revenge anytime soon?

Drone dude: "You're getting sued, kid!" OP: "No, YOU'RE getting sued!" Drone dude: "AHHH! How the hell does that even work?!"

Dude with the drone is a total butthead. If he's flying low enough for the dog to get it, then he got what he deserved.

First story. Do not tell the daughter, she's too young and, as you said, would spread the word out because she knows no better. Neither your husband or you will tell anyone else either, especially if you have toxic family members. Keep it strictly between yourself and any professional you're working with (doctors and such). You get counsel, you want for the girl to reach an age where she's mature enough for that information. And above all, she's still your daughter. Treat her like so.

For the record, my husband has hazel eyes, so do his siblings. both their parents have brown eyes. So it is possible to have lighter eyes from two dark-eyed parents. Also...first story is a nightmare. I have 2 kids 2 and 5 and if I found out one of them weren't mine I could not give them up. I'd obviously want visitation with my bio kid but the babies I've raised are my whole heart and I would die if they were taken away. I feel like OP in the first story is going to grow to resent her husband because he blew up their whole life because he did not trust her or respect her enough to bring up his concerns with her first. That marriage is probably over.

Story 3: There are a few stories about drone troubles in ProRevenge, and the FAA was involved in at least one of them. Also, why would you harass the neighbor's dog with a drone? Of course they would have enough and attack it!

That first story is the hospital’s r/TIFU. That is some lifetime movie BS. Happy ending would be that they find the other family, both sue the pants off that hospital, and buy a big family home together and raise both kids.

First story:DOUBLE ANIME ASS TWIST

The first story is actually possible, I remember learning in biology class that both parents won’t show up in paternity tests. It had to do something with genetic coding but they usually solved the problem by dna testing a family relative and it matched with the kid.

The first story, I wonder what would have happen if they split up, then they find out about the switch. The worst part, it might happen with the other family. In any case, I hope the children gets reunited with their birth parents some day.

First story- he became distant from his daughter that he should have already loved. He isn't a good father, he should have been hurt at the alleged cheating but if he truly loved his daughter he wouldn't have been distant to her.

That first story... if I were her I don't think I could ever look at him the same way again. How he treated her was completely and utterly unacceptable. He never even gave her the chance to find out why, and immediately assumed her to be a villain. That's unforgivable - especially since swapping at birth and chimera-ism is very much a thing.

In the first story, that guy was giving off all the signs of cheating himself. And he made the assumption that she had cheated before taking the test. That's why he took it. And treated her and the child badly based on his assumptions. It doesn't matter how logical his assumption was. He's an asshole. I know this is not an Am I The Asshole post but he is and she isn't.

story 2: that family is awful, they fact they regretted telling you about the affair shows that they care more about his relationship, over his infidelity

Story 1: THIS is why you get a blood test to confirm that the child is yours

The FAA don't mess around if they fine him it will probably be around $10,000 fine at minimum.

First story: I can be hopeful. Hopefully both families (more specifically both kids) could become very good friends?

That second story. Whatever happened to communication?! When my fiancée stresses me out, I TELL THEM. We then talk about taking a break or putting aside some time where we don't talk about or do whatever is stresses the other out and do something fun so we can decompress for a bit. Conflict management is SO important in relationships.

Mad respect to OP in the first story!!! They still see the child they raised as their daughter and sue the shit out of this hospital!!!!

The first story is a great example why mother and baby shouldn't be separated after birth since, shit like this seems to happen a little too often in the US

That first story is why im glad the hospital I gave birth at keeps the babies in the roon with the parents. All tests are done in the room. If the baby has to leave the room for any reason, one parent may go with them. The hospital had a nursery, but due to covid, it was closed. Only the NICU was open

Story 1: That is gross incompetence, I literally have no other way of describing it.

I love the logic of the neighbor in the last story. "Yes, I purposely fly my drone over to annoy your dog. How dare your dog react and destroy my drone!" Play stupid games, win stupid prizes, my guy. Dogs run on instinct, and if the dog thought your drone was "attacking" it was only a matter of time before it got hold of it somehow.

When I was listening to the 2nd story and the mother confided to the future DIL that her son had messed around on her and that she was the last to know... I thought at that moment... had that been me; I would've gotten up and walked out and went on vacation somewhere exotic and beautiful.

Story #2 about the cheating fiance: I'm glad OP ended things. If cheating happened once, (we're assuming it DID only happen once. It's one time that OP knows of.) and it got blamed on "weakness because of high stress"... high stress times happen in literally every long term relationship. If it got a pass the first time, that would make it so much easier for it to happen again. Also I'm so glad OP found out before the wedding. It may not feel like it to OP, but it's still easier to disentangle themself now, than it would have if they'd been married.

That almost happened to my stepmom apparently the hospital forgot that two girls was born the same day but her mom said that’s not my child and demanded that they go look again and that’s when they realized their mistake

3rd story-I am studying real estate and the first thing they teach you is about your bundle of right and it quite literally says you own every thing above your property and below. Lol that dude does not know what he is talking about smh.

The first story, I can't remember the details but there was a story like this before where both children didn't match either parent and the second child had a DNA test right at birth, it some rare DNA thing or something. Found it, it's called chimerism

I don't know if anyone else mentioned the TV series, "Switched At Birth", but it's about a situation exactly like the first story. I don't know how realistic that show is, but regardless, this is not entirely unheard of unfortunately, and I have heard of this happening to some other families. I imagine if OP dug a little deeper, then would be some kind of support group, or they could at least find a family therapist or counselor that has possibly dealt with the situation before, or specializes in something related like issues surrounding adoption, blended families, etc. Regardless, that is a crazy situation to be in!

Why do cheaters always say "It meant nothing" when they cheat? That's even worse in my opinion, you ruined the relationship on a whim. A literal passing thought or flight of fancy?!

"I can't really blame your husband for getting as upset as he did because even though he was wrong, it was a pretty reasonable assumption to make" What?? The guy got suspicious because of the color of his daughters eyes!! Two blue eyed parents can, in fact, give birth to a brown eyed baby if one or both parents carry the brown eyed gene. That "reasonable assumption" is still UNreasonable. Hell, my best friend gave birth to her son not too long ago & he's got red hair. She's got dark brown, her bf has dirty blonde. Her parents both have brown hair; his dad has brown hair & his mom has dirty blonde. The only other person in her family to have red hair is her nephew. Her sister has 5 kids, only one has red hair. So where'd the red hair come from? You guessed it, a gene passed down from their grandfather who was 100% Irish. That shit LITERALLY skipped two generations. Calling 100% bull on him being "suspicious" based on the color of his daughters eye.

First story: we’re assuming that it was just two kids who got switched. I would be more surprised if it was JUST two kids

With the last story, and how OP's neighbor sued him but ended up losing and having to paying OP. I enjoy when individuals like the neighbor sue others, only to end up losing.

The first story has to be one of the few stories that I was *genuinely surprised* at

The neighbor in the third story won the award for "f around and find out"

I am honestly so terrified of that 1st story ever coming true in my life with my wife because I will be watching my kid like a freaking hawk. Like I will not even allow a nurse to be gone with my baby for more than a minute and I will be following them everywhere.

Screw him, he cheated! Doesn’t matter about his accident.

10:52 here's the thing about "nothing personal" what they really mean is that it's not personal to them and don't realize that it's extremely to the person they're cheating on, pranking, or firing for their jobs

Story 1: double plot twist. Your biological daughter is a deaf redhead living with a Hispanic family.

'You...are not the Father' "I knew it!" 'And you are not the Mother' "Wait, what?"

Story 1: The husband has to know that sometimes characteristics skip a generation or two. I myself have an eye color that no one else in my family does, but I also know that I am full of recessive traits (a lot of them!). I'm pretty sure that I share traits with great great grandparents or perhaps even further back, but I also know that I am definitely my parents' child as I look like them. 😅 Granted in this case, the hospital messed up big time and I think there's going to be a major lawsuit involved. How do you accidentally swap out babies in this day and age? They have bracelets that are identical to the mothers, and scanners that send up alarms if matching bracelets are not found when a baby exits the building with a mother. Story 2: Glad Op got out of there. Story 3: The police report that Op made leave the paper trail where it shows Op ask them to stop and contacted police about it and they asked him to stop as well. That meant he already had a history of ignoring police and teasing Op's dog with the drone. In short, he played stupid games so he won stupid prizes.

Oh boy! I actually do know the legality of the drone case! Per real estate law (at least in California) you do own the air up to a reasonable point over your property! It used to be all of the air above your property but the introduction of commercial airlines changed that. The property owner absolutely owns the space in which a drone would fly. Especially if its low enough for a dog to catch.

Nothing's more exciting than hearing *"and then OP posted an update"* on an rSlash video

first story is straight up a movie plot, holy shit.

In school, my husband & I were taught brown eyes are dominant, so a brown eyed person CANNOT have a blue eyed kid. 1 of ours has blue eyes & we learned that, along with a ton of other things we were taught in public school were nothing but lies. If you value knowing facts, reteach yourself everything you learned. I started homeschooling a few years ago and was astounded at how many lies there were, mostly history, economics, the government, etc. My husband & I are from different states with totally different teaching styles, so I guarantee you're also affected.

She’s worried what others will think?? Wow….that should be last on the list

My first thought was that the husband had chimera syndrom but DAMN. I guess I should expect the worst in strangers. Humans are capable of horible stuff. That clearly happened because of human intervention (purposeful or not).

Get this man to 2M subs already, he puts in a ton of work and gives us daily uploads and great entertainment.

Did the husband not know anything about recessive and genes and stuff like that

If hes gonna cheat due to the stresses of a wedding, what makes them think he wont cheat again when he gets stressed again?

For the drone story: My dad has a drone, we fly it often. That thing goes HIGH. The neighbor has his own yard to get altitude, why is she moving to other yards being (I'm guessing) less than 10m high? When you fly a drone you know you should avoid animals, trees and objects, you paid a lot of money, so you must be careful because it is delicate.

First story: This is why paternity test should be mandatory at birth before either parent signs the birth certificate. And no op’s husband wasn’t wrong for getting that test, it’s his right to know if the child he is raising is biologically his.

Wow, a genuine changeling story. That's horrible, but morbidly interesting. I just hope that the biological child doesn't end up in sinister circumstances.

Story 1: I'm terrified that this is what happened to me. I look very little like either of my parents, but mostly like my mother at first glance. There are just parts of my face that look like neither of them. There's the matter of my eyes, greyish blue that doesn't match my mother's green-blue or my father's brown-green hazel. My nose doesn't match. My hair is darker than my mother's, but lighter than my father's. My body shape is completely different. I never felt a familial connection to them as well as never held any of their beliefs despite how they tried to make me. Despite having the same father and a mother that looks nearly identical, my supposed half-brother looks like my father: easily tannable to the point of being mistaken for Hispanic, brown-green hazel eyes, same nose, same everything. Hell, their voices were similar. There's also weird stories about the first year of my life, all surrounding why there are no pictures of me during that time. One is that I had sleep apnea (I don't have sleep apnea now and it's not supposed to be a thing that goes away so ???) but this sleep apnea came with heart problems that caused me to stop breathing and nearly die every time I cried, so I had a heart monitor and they didn't want to have pictures with me like that. According to my mother, she took me to a church where nuns put their hands on me and prayed and BOOM no more heart problems. It doesn't make sense. Another excuse my mother had was that a flood wiped out their trailer and took all the pictures with it a week after my first birthday. Ask her on a different day though and that flood supposedly happened only a week after I was brought home from the hospital. It doesn't make sense and I'll probably never find out the truth, due to my father being dead and my mother being a rabid liar.

When my daughter was born I never left her out of my sight. I was so worried about her being switched or worse, I was around her like a hawk. Hospital staff treated it like those things don't happen there, but I didn't care, I'll be damned if I entrust my newborn to distracted strangers.

Thankfully we’re not in the time where cheating was acceptable. Cheating is not acceptable. If he was stressed out then he should’ve at least postpone the wedding. What a coward and manipulator! And the parents are no help either!

I hope that everyone is having a good Tuesday!

2:48, this is Called Baby Juggling. its when a nurse gets CONFUSED when holding Multiple Babies and places them in the WRONG CRIB. This can happen but if its resolved before the baby develops a Solid Memory of who the Previous parent was, then its something that wont Effect your child's Future. (Max of 1-2 years.)

The last story should see if there are any tv or radio towers near by and report that to the FAA as well since it’s illegal to fly within so many feet of them without clearance

First story: are we not going to address how messed up it is that the husband got a paternity test in the first place? That he trusted his wife so little?

Hello everyone

Second story: My fiance's ex-husband cheated on her, said all those things, she offered an open marriage and he said no, so she gave him a second chance. He cheated again. Cheaters ALWAYS cheat again. Second chances do not work from people who willingly cheat. A drunk night or EXCEPTIONALLY extenuating circumstances may warrant a second chance, but you don't "Accidentally" do that with someone. That's SEVERAL mistakes in a row.

WOW...first story...brutal. Baby switches happen way more often than we'd like to believe, though.

My daily dose of serotonin

132 feet. That is the amount of air space above your owned land that most states recognize as still your property. If someone puts a drone in that space they are legally trespassing and in most states, you could shoot it down and not be held legally liable for damages. Particularly if you can show proof you trespassed them. And you don’t have to allow them legal access to retrieve it until ordered to by an officer.

1st: It's a scary thought ngl to get your kids swapped which happens still to this day and many parents don't know if their kid is theirs or not. And yes, it happens out of nowhere from parents switching the kids to get a better kid without anyone knowing or something. It's very aaah

To everyone who sees this, just because I was curious I looked up the first story and people here on RU-vid are so much kinder to this person than the people on Reddit. A lot of people there claims that this story is fake, and in case you're wondering she posted an update saying that she found her biological child. Idk what to think anymore tbh..
