Several months ago, two Russian families learned some devastating news: their daughters had been switched at birth. This was discovered during a divorce proceeding when a man refused to pay child support for one of the girls because she did not look like him. DNA testing over this allegation led to the discovery that the two girls had been switched. Both families sued the maternity home and gained the monetary award of $100,000 each. Though this is a very large sum by Russian standards, the families continue to feel concern over the emotional scars to their daughters, now age 12. The families have stated that they will use the money to buy houses near each other in order to help the girls adjust.
