Kyle Bylin and Jeremy Morrison were switched at birth 38 years ago at Unity Medical Center in Grafton, North Dakota. The discovery was made through DNA tests, which revealed that they were raised by the wrong parents.

Discovery and Aftermath

Bylin discovered his birth family after taking an at-home DNA test, which led him to his biological aunt on a genealogy platform. Morrison then had his DNA tested, and the results confirmed that they were switched at birth. The two men have since met their biological parents, but have yet to meet each other.

The hospital has stated that there is no evidence to suggest that staff were responsible for the switch. However, Bylin still has the hospital bracelet that misidentified him as Kyle Bylin. The families of the two men are now suing the hospital, claiming emotional distress due to negligence and medical malpractice.

Impact on Families

The discovery has had a profound impact on the families involved. Evelyn Newton, who raised Bylin as her own, said, “I feel robbed of the life I should have had with my biological son. You can’t go back and replace 35 years. First steps, driving a car, getting married – how do you make up for that?”

Morrison, on the other hand, has said that the discovery has not changed the way he feels about the family he grew up with. He still thinks of the parents he grew up with as his parents, and has said that his childhood was fine despite some challenging times.
