[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bad idea and total overreach. [/quote]

+1 [i]terrible[/i] idea.  I have two very close friends who both have children fathered by AP’s instead of their H’s. This would wreck probably 10-20% of marriages.

HORRIBLE IDEA. [/quote]
+1 mandating sending a vulnerable woman who has just given birth and her newborn home with her husband and that new knowledge is like an engraved invitation to domestic violence.[/quote]

How about the man who thinks the child is his and was cheated on and lied to?  That doesn't necesssarily equate to DV, but [b]a man would probably choose to leave the wife/woman and that is reasonable.  He shouldn't have to support a child that isn't his and live in a sham marriage.[/b]

Why is it ok when women cheat and not men?  Why is it ok for women to lie to men about if they are the father or not?

Let me guess, you had an affair and your husband is not the father.  [/quote]

I genuinely do not understand this perspective. You wanted to have a kid with your spouse. Now you have a kid. When you raise that kid, you are the kid's dad. 
If the hospital sends me home with the wrong baby and I raise it ... that's still my kid, who I love.

The world is full of men raising kids who aren't biologically theirs - through adoption, sperm donor, blended family, rape of their wife, reconciliation after cheating, raising a relative's kid - and they are fine.

And no, I've never cheated. I just don't understand how somebody could leave their spouse and infant if that is the family situation they wanted. I would consider somebody like that very damaged. [/quote]

Makes sense.  This is why in those rare baby mix ups at the hospital, the women who later find out they were raising another woman’s kid are always super chill and don’t care at all and it’s never an issue.[/quote]

That's just it - in these situations, the parents [i]don't [/i]return the swapped kids. They might sue - everybody likes a cash settlement - but they don't give up the kids they raised. Those are their kids. [/quote]
