Family Secrets: Switched at Birth
Family Secrets: Switched at Birth - CBS News
(CBS) It's not uncommon for adopted children to go searching for their birth parents. In fact, in most states, laws have made it easier for them to do so.
But sometimes, the circumstances that separate a parent from a child can be much more complicated - and baffling. For instance, imagine discovering that the child you loved and raised for years wasn't really your own.
Correspondent Erin Moriarty has the story of two families, a father's hunch and an investigation that transformed their lives forever. This broadcast first aired last December.

Patient Safety Tip of the Week Archive
Here’s a topic where we really are asking our readers for their input and opinions. Mercy Medical Center in Williston, North Dakota had an incident this past September in which the wrong baby was given to a mother at discharge. The error was recognized within hours and both babies were reunited with their correct mothers promptly. Last week Mercy Medical held a press conference in which they transparently disclosed the details of the incident (maintaining patient confidentiality, of course) and the results of the subsequent root cause analysis (RCA). We applaud Mercy Medical for their actions. Not only do their actions bring credibility to themselves but they also raise the issue for all other hospitals to address. We challenge each and every hospital to honestly answer the question “Could that have happened here?”. Most will probably say “I really don’t know. Certainly the human error element could happen here. But I’m not sure if our safety net and safety systems would prevent the actual adverse outcome.”

NEW HAMPSHIRE: “Attorneys for Needy Parents Cut” (Edited)
Weekly News Summary - National Center for Adoption Law & Policy
Parent's would be better off acting Pro-Se. They'd do a better job than the Puppet's of the Court.
There really won't be a big difference whether the parent is afforded a court appointed Lawyer any way. What sense does it make to give a parent a REAL ESTATE Lawyer for a child custody case? One person I know was blessed getting a REAL custody Lawyer who fought for her right's. How many custody cases are really won by parent's? I only know of this one case.
People are afraid they won't have any way of knowing about their option's; subpoenaing witnesses in their behalf, filing motions to permit new evidence into court, fighting to make sure the child isn't removed in the first place, making sure the parent is afforded services, reasonable effort's for reunification? The list goes on and on, yet court-appointed Puppet's of the court do none of the above anyway. The state has been paying for court appointed Lawyer's who work for the COURT. Not the parent! People are afraid more parent's would lose their children without a court appointed Lawyer. I don't know why their afraid. Court appointed Puppet or NOT, their going to lose any way. That's a given in NH. Even with evidence of innocence, you still lose because the corrupt Judges won't admit the evidence into Court. I wonder how much blood money the NH Judges make off each stolen child. Maybe ALL their asset's need to be transparent!
NEW HAMPSHIRE: “Attorneys for Needy Parents Cut”
By: Maddie Hanna/Monitor Staff
Parents who are accused of abusing or neglecting their children are no longer entitled to have an attorney appointed by the state if they cannot afford one of their own. Prompted by budget cuts, this new law, which went into effect on July 1st, has child welfare advocates and the attorneys who represent those parents in abuse and neglect cases very worried that this will cause more children to be permanently removed from their homes. The change was proposed by the Judicial Council, who is responsible for paying the state’s public defenders, contract attorneys and guardians ad litem.
