Woman in US says she was switched at birth almost 50 years ago, causing her to experience anger, sadness, and joy.

Being switched at birth is not something that is often talked about, but for one woman in the US, it became her reality almost 50 years ago. Melissa Brewton recently shared her experience, describing it as nothing short of horrific. Growing up, Brewton's mother worked multiple jobs and she essentially raised herself. On top of that, she suffered abuse from a family member. She never wants anyone to have a childhood like hers.

At the age of 49, Brewton made a shocking discovery after her adult daughter took a DNA test. Her daughter found out she had a sister and asked if Brewton wanted her information. When Brewton saw her picture, she finally felt like she looked like someone in her family. After getting in touch with her newfound sister, more surprises came to light. Brewton's sister has DNA links to the Brewton family, but when they compared birth dates and hospitals, they realized they were born on the same day at the same hospital. This led them to believe they were switched at birth and went home with the wrong families.

Brewton's emotional journey continued when she met the man believed to be her biological father. Despite growing up without a loving and caring father figure, she was grateful to finally have him in her life. Sadly, her biological mother passed away in 2019 and they never got the chance to meet. Brewton has now hired an attorney and is suing the hospital where she was born, Baylor Scott & White, for negligence. While there is a two-year statute of limitations for medical malpractice cases, they believe they have a case due to the mix-up happening one month before the law was put in place.

Brewton wants accountability for what happened to her as a child and is determined to seek justice. In response to the lawsuit, Baylor Scott & White released a statement clarifying that they did not own or manage the hospital at the time of Brewton's birth. Despite this, Brewton remains determined to hold someone responsible for the trauma she endured. She hopes that by speaking out, she can prevent this from happening to anyone else in the future.
