The secret of birth that I found out after 60 years...A child who was changed from a hospital filed a lawsuit against the government.

The Associated Press reported that a person who had grown up with the idea of being her biological mother for nearly 60 years after being reversed as a newborn in the hospital belatedly learned the truth and filed a lawsuit against the government.

In 1965, Karen Lafteset-Docken of Norway gave birth to a daughter in a hospital and was discharged with her baby seven days later.

I thought my child's black curls were different from mine, but he looked like my mother-in-law.

But as she got older, she felt at odds with her family and underwent a DNA test in 2021, when she turned 56.

As a result, it was confirmed that Mona was not the biological daughter of her mother, who raised her.

At that time, the baby born on February 14 and the baby born on the 15th were exchanged.

Doken, who is now 78, said he named his daughter Mona after his mother and cried that he never thought Mona was not his daughter.

But the other mother, who raised Doken's real biological daughter, found out that her child had changed a long time ago.

The mother decided not to raise the issue after a blood test in 1981, when her daughter turned 16, found that Linda Karin Lisvik Gottas, who she raises, was not her biological daughter.

Norwegian health authorities found out in 1985 but did not inform the parties.

The two women, who were reversed, said they were shocked to learn the fact, but that they explained why they were different from their families, their appearances and personalities, and that the questions were solved.

It is unclear how the two changed at the hospital, but in Norway in the 1950s and '60s, babies were sometimes changed because the rooms of mothers and newborns were separated, local media said.

However, even if the baby changes, it was discovered before being discharged, and most of them were originally visiting their families.

Norway's health ministry officials say there have been no similar cases identified by the government and there are no plans to launch an investigation.

Mona and others, who filed a lawsuit in an Oslo court, demanded an apology and compensation, saying the government had concealed the error even after discovering it and violated their human rights.

Mona's lawyer said she could have known the truth when she was young, but she didn't know until her 50s because of the government's cover-up, and in the meantime, she died and couldn't reach her mother.

The government explained to the AP that it was a private hospital where the baby changed, and when it found out in the 1980s, it did not have the legal authority to notify other families of the errors.

Therefore, there is no basis for compensation, and the prescription has already passed.

The trial will continue until the 14th, but it has not been decided when the ruling will be sentenced.
