Jeremy Morrison, a 38-year-old man from the U.S., discovered through DNA testing that he was switched at birth with another baby, Kyle Boleyn, at Unity Medical Centre in Grafton, North Dakota, on 26 January 1988. Morrison always felt different from his family, being blonde-haired amongst brown-haired relatives, before the DNA test at age 36 confirmed his parents were not his biological parents. Both men and their families are now suing the hospital, which denies responsibility and states no current staff members were employed during the births decades ago.
