Swapped Accidentally At Birth, Two Women Discover The Truth After 38 Years

Two women who swapped accidentally at birth finally discovered the truth about themselves after 38 years. The family of Gulsina Baimurzina and Alyona Baulina have long suspected that something might not be right when the two of them look too different from other family members.

Gulsina’s hair color is blonde and has fair skin as opposed to her family’s dark hair color.

Likewise, Alyona has black hair, which is so prominent compared to her blonde family members.

“Gulsina was fair from birth, and I am dark. We saw that she was not like us, but did not attach any importance to it,” said Gulsina’s sister, Grunas.

“But rumors were creeping that a fair one was growing here, and a dark one in another village. My mother did not want to believe it, because she always considered Gulsina her daughter,” she added.

Finally, after decades, DNA tests showed the two women were accidentally given to different parents when they were babies.

The two women were born at Kizil Hospital, in Kizilskoye in Russia, in 1983.

It is unclear how the ID tags placed on them at birth became detachable and staff put them back on the wrong baby.

However, no staff working in the maternity ward at the time was alive to answer any of the questions, and the cause of the incident remains a mystery.

Still, the two are seeking damages for the incident, and local media reported that those involved in the same case received compensation of up to about £ 15,000.

Gulsina works as a school caretaker while Alyona is a successful businesswoman. The woman’s family is said to try to make the best out of the strange situation and try their best to stay in touch.

Alla Vasilyeva, manager of Kizil Hospital has issued an official apology to the two families.
