Austrian Baby Switch From 1990 Confirmed by DNA After 35 Years

Blood‑type discrepancies years apart led to DNA proof that prompted a formal apology from the Graz clinic.

Overview

  • The women, born in late October 1990 in Graz, were premature and initially cared for in incubators.
  • One woman learned years ago through a blood donation that her blood type did not match the parents who raised her.
  • Despite hospital inquiries and a 2016 public appeal, the other family was not found until recent events.
  • The second woman discovered the discrepancy during a pregnancy, contacted the first, and a DNA test confirmed the swap.
  • Both women have since met each other and their biological parents, as the hospital confirmed the case and issued an apology.
