Yes, by all means, find out why this happened and how to prevent it.

But...did the parents who raised each boy love him as their own? Or did they let their suspicions stop them short of loving the son they raised? Did the sons grow up thinking of and loving the resident parents as their own? Not quite sure where "40 years wasted" is coming from. Did they live those 40 years? Did they go to school, learn, love, date, marry, have careers or jobs, have children of their own? Then the years were not wasted, IMHO.

The bottom line:

"...which was then run by the federal government."

Need I say more?

What happened here is lives were stolen


Oh, baloney. You were perfectly happy with the life you had until you learned about the switch.

Think of it as acquiring another family, and kwitcherkikken.

Years wasted, a classic left wing party meme.

Yes. It seems like a very difficult thing to learn, but there’s nothing to be done now. Just ‘pick up and move on’ - and enjoy learning about your other family.

Yeah really, and they all still live in the same Canadian hick town. It’s not as if one of them went home to a life of privilege that the other should have enjoyed. They’re pretty much in the same boat they probably would have been in anyway.

Some things are better left alone and undiscovered. What good could possibly come from this discovery?

It is not the same by a long-shot, but I recently found out my dad’s father was not who we thought he was - that my grandmother was either raped or fooled round, 81 years ago. I cannot imagine what these men feel, but the feelings I have are so profound and unsettling I have a glimpse of their distress.

The worst is my dad (dead 10 years) had a sister (she is still alive) he never knew about... I feel very badly for these men...

“You were perfectly happy with the life you had”

How do you you know it was PERFECT? Were they both married to supermodels, and rich billionaires?

Exactly! If I got swapped I would want to shape the nurses hand, because I am happy with how it worked out.

Don’t be so hard on these guys, it has to be a blow, to find out you’re not even related to the only parents you’ve ever known, and for such a stupid reason. I’m sure they’ll come to realize that they had loving parents and still have them.

Not quite sure where “40 years wasted” is coming from.
= = =

Let’s see ... 40 * $100,000 = $4 Mil.

That will ‘help’ buy back my life.
