Nurse Gives Woman the Wrong Baby, Then New Mother Turns Pale — Story of the Day

Lucy and Ross, overjoyed at expecting twins—a boy and a girl—were shocked when the nurse, Savannah, returned two girls after a post-delivery examination. Lucy, certain of her ultrasound results, accused the nurse of a mix-up. Dr. Carter intervened, discovering Savannah had brought the wrong documents, confusing Lucy with another patient. Suspicious, Lucy overheard Savannah confess to Dr. Carter that she swapped Lucy’s son with her deceased sister’s daughter, hoping the Matthews would provide a loving home. Savannah’s sister had died after

childbirth, and her husband refused to adopt the baby. Moved by the story, Lucy chose not to report Savannah. Unable to forget the baby girl, Lucy convinced Ross to adopt her, naming her Amelia. Despite initial concerns about managing three children, Ross agreed after seeing Amelia’s innocent gaze. The adoption process took time, but Lucy and Ross felt their family was complete with twins Sia and Mark and Amelia. Savannah, grateful for their decision, became a regular visitor, spending weekends with the children.
