Swap girls return to real parents - Update

Two babies in the Czech Republic who were accidentally swapped at birth have been returned to their real parents.

The parents decided to swap the girls back after DNA tests showed they had taken the wrong babies home. They then had weeks of counselling.



They brought forward the date of the planned return after psychologists said it would harm the girls to delay.

The two girls, Nikola and Veronika, were born in Trebic, some 165km (100 miles) south-east of the capital, Prague, on 9 December last year. Now the girls will celebrate their first birthday on Sunday with their biological parents.
