Switching up our emotions

IMAGINE finding out that you were switched at birth or that you had raised someone else’s child. The stuff of nightmares.

Long Lost Family Special: Switched At Birth with Davina Mccall on ITV on Monday told two extraordinary stories.

Rosemary Rawlins, 77, from

Sussex, was swapped during an air raid at the Weymouth hospital when all the babies were taken to the basement.

In Sicily, a catastrophic error meant that Caterina Alagna and Melissa Fodera were raised by the wrong mothers for three years. Amazingly the mothers bonded together and raised the girls as sisters.

An emotional saga.
