Did you know over 2000 babies a year in America are swapped at birth by accident in hospitals and sometimes the mistake isn't corrected immediately and babies go home with the wrong mothers? Well, yes, that is true and in todays episode we explore one of these cases, except not too many people are sold on the idea that this was an accident. Regina Twigg gives birth to a healthy baby girl in 1978 in a small town in Florida but days later doctors tell her that her baby is going to die from a heart condition in less then a week. Regina is heartbroken and does everything she can to save her babies life and she succeeds. Nine years later blood tests are done on this child to prepare her for heart surgery but the blood test results expose that this is not Reginas child at all. So where is her baby and how did this happen?
