The father, Richard Cushworth, who is from Britain and his wife, Mercy, were given the wrong baby by a hospital in El Salvador in 2015. Mrs Cushworth gave birth in her native El Salvador in May 2015 and her son spent his first night in a hospital nursery. Unknown to her, the next day she was given a different baby to take home. She said she first became suspicious when she noticed the newborn's features were different to those of the baby doctors had initially handed her when she gave birth. The nurses said the baby was hers, despite her doubts.
Upon returning home to Dallas, Texas, Mrs Cushworth took a DNA test which said there was a 0% chance she could be the mother of the baby she had been given. Both babies, who were four months old at the time, were then returned to their biological parents but the couple said the happiness of getting their own son back was met with sadness at having to give the other boy away.
Charges against the doctor who delivered the baby were dropped last month, but it is still unclear how the swap happened.
Both babies were returned to their real parents eight months ago, but the Cushworth's had to wait almost nine months for the correct paperwork, such as a birth certificate, for their son so he could return home to the US.
