8:32 am
hold her own child. i looked at the dawn and the strange thoughts came to me could it be that they had brought me a different baby. a mother of three sons victoria has never really given much thought as to why her eldest child is so much unlike his parents and siblings victoria her main concern has always been to make sure that the boys were well fed properly dressed and happy . husband nicholai treated all his sons equally he never played favorites also any of them as an ugly duckling so when his son was just two years old nicholas drew this picture on the wall of the house only years later did he realize that it had a much deeper significance. once when we already had kids my
8:33 am
wife and i were looking at this picture suddenly it dawned upon us the two whites ones where younger children collin and victor both of them a blond but then there was the black swan dark haired and dark eyed boy on the day how could this happen. peace in the family was nearly shattered when the parents discovered that they had spent the past eighteen years raising someone else's child . it turned out that this one was not ours. it was from another floor. and mom and dad told me that i was not their son. there was another one because they. did not believe it at first. and i was immediately offended and shocked. and i did not know how to react. or solve i went away from home with them then i talked to my friends calmed down

group which is like a b o system a bureau has four different types one which is zero a which is to be three and a b. is four for example in our case we have mother who is type. two and she has either a or a eight or eight zero father is type one and the father has only zero zero the child in question has a blood types three which can be either b. b. or b. zero either the father or the mother or both of them are not the biological parents of the child. but for victoria discovering the blood type was just the tip of the iceberg searching through the family's files at home she found old documents that had been untouched for years those of us along with one andre turned one month i
8:36 am
went to the doctor to measure his height and weight him i was very surprised the baby weight which is three hundred grams at birth but when discharged from hospital he's a weight was three thousand two hundred fifty grams. she's height was fifty six centimeters but a month later it was fifty two centimeters back then when i was young i thought that my milk was so bad that. the oldest son in the family has always been an introvert always reserved and silent he was nothing like his about going parents and didn't kick up a fuss like his brothers. when the two youngest sons were born we began noticing that he was somewhat different he didn't sit down at the table together with us he refused to eat what we ate it would stand up and walk off without saying anything but. people often told us he's very unlike you little and to laughed it off yes he's more like our neighbor. nicholai and victoria began a private investigation they gained access to the archives of the old maternity

it's not easy for him to remember his childhood his upbringing was difficult at best. with poverty is everywhere here as you can see. i had to work take care of the cattle. and chop wood. feel was an only son but for some reason he always felt as though he didn't quite belong. so my parents were always quarrelling. my father even beat my mother what's little is the course the mom told me once that the neighbors around used to make fun of her. saying that her son did not look like her at all so as i was too blunt. every day victoria looked into the faces of the boys who bought pies from chaos in the city market. she hoped that someday her first biological son would come to buy
8:39 am
something. and that she would recognize him. a list of the flock the thing that i went to a neighbor who worked at the market and i took this picture with me and. i told her that you are a son had been switched to the hospital. so i showed her the pictures saying it was my son. and she said that she knew him as he had come over that one. they did see each other at the market many times and victoria's heart still aches at the thought that she used to take money from her own son for the pies. what does the later i remember to that boy with something out of the ordinary in his eyes she was poorly dressed and very skinny.

8:42 am
they were very deep emotions welling up inside me. but what looks like a happy ending for everyone involved was in fact just the beginning of the real drama your. but i thought it was interesting how it would all end was. all about the he got into his car muscles that turned his head away and drove off the table which was so hard to part. we seem to have found her son again and again he was not around. we comforted ourselves with the thought that he would come back to us. three months after that meeting field or came to visit his biological parents just for

8:44 am
frail woman works at a car park as a gatekeeper under her watch she make sure strangers stay off the premises and keeps a strict account of the cars coming and going to the return on time. she doesn't get paid much it's. it's enough to keep her going there is. the child she brought up for eighteen years went to his real parents while her biological son refused to come to her. i wonder what it.
8:45 am
told me that he would go to more darva or to visit them. to see how they live yet six months passed. but. then i asked him. when he was going to come back. and he said that he was ashamed to leave his parents would. you feel ashamed that i didn't aren't you ashamed after i have been raising you for eighteen years. well ok. of course it hurts but what can i do. when you well i thought if birder was there probably andray
8:46 am
could come to me and little by little we would find a common language but it did not work then furder told me they would come to visit me with but i do not know when it will happen. fielder's real parents have never had money troubles just like many other people in moldova nicholai sells homemade wine victoria meanwhile makes pastries. here we go. to a new family often feel everything he lacked in his childhood a comfortable life with a quiet family and blood brothers. i saw that i had the same character traits as my biological parents when i arrived in moldova and got to
8:47 am
know them better i realized that i was just like the parents who had raised me and i got it straight away. and i never thought they would not love me any more i know my parents they love me. but i was afraid to talk to them i don't know why but i was afraid. and found himself in a difficult position having to welcome the person whose place he had been occupying since childhood. he was not going to step aside because a field. i'm going under is very jealous should we were approach him about anything he immediately takes offense and does not want to talk. do you want some juice and they want some. yeah ok. for the parents a meeting with their biological son also meant the possible loss of the son whom
8:48 am
they'd raved to. the country told me once mom i'm going to be answered that he was eighteen already and he could go wherever he wanted. to spend two hours crying in the looking around the house so that he didn't see me crying. i got so scared. but he didn't leave. the field on a year and a half with a new family felt like a month all of the time back in your court maria spindled patiently awaited her guests only the occasional phone call brightened her loneliness. furder. hello how are you it's futile your calls maria time after time for a true son under a never dial her number only occasionally does he take the receiver from his brother. and. it's mom.
8:49 am
and. i'm not expecting anyone anymore because i know that no one will come. it is my fate. maria has often seen her whole life as a real tragedy her deceased husband believed that their son was born as a result of her adultery he beat her and turned her out of the house together with the baby it never struck me but the doctors of the hospital could mistakenly have given her the wrong child. i gave birth to my son on the way to the hospital and was unconscious for almost three days that is why i did not see the baby and then they first brought a dark haired baby to me but then they said it was not mine it's not and to provide another one to me. the task of finding those guilty in this mix was
8:50 am
fruitless the prosecutor's investigation found that the doctors who be on duty that day when andrea and fiona were born had already quit their jobs all retired there was no one to remember what had happened that day. we made the decision not to initiate criminal proceedings because of the lack of evidence under the article on the exchange of babies. everything that happened has been classified as negligence you have the right to apply to court for compensation for material and moral damage . before they were able to claim for compensation from the hospital your family would have to take d.n.a. tests because the lawyers would be unable to accept a family resemblance as solid evidence physical appearance can be a good indicator of the business in people ages this trait was used to show whether a particular child is the biological chad or particular parent however it's not
8:51 am
a definitive answer rather an indication of a possibility of parentage among parentage if you look at for example we can see that two parents have. the child has white half for example but it is also possible that two people with have a child with a fair. actually will darken with age but also if you look at the other case. the. for example with his brothers when he was little it is actually quite tricky to say that he is not. brother all of these children i mean with the knowledge you can but if you look like these you know that awful. moldova has no special laboratories for d.n.a.
8:52 am
analysis the bull market has had to send their blood samples abroad to have the results returned by mail. there is one vital person missing from this table on whom the moment of truth depends the family decided that to take a d.n.a. sample from the second mother one of the sons had to go to her. after six thousand kilometers and more than twenty four hours for your daughter returns home to the woman he once called his mother in childhood when she saw her son through the window maria was still struggling with feelings of resentment and could not hold back her tears. hi mom. mom. why are you crying. what happened it's ok.
8:53 am
field or can hardly recognize his own mother she has lost twenty kilos over the past year it seems that maria still believes field or is her son. and perhaps with the help of this test everything will go back to the way it was and her beloved child will never leave her again. what we did to be analyzed d.n.a. profiles from maria and if you order to see whether he's the biological mother or the field or not jetted data indicates that maria is excluded from being their biological mother or thought up what we did next is be obtained d.n.a. profiles from victoria bill maga nicholai. their alleged son on drink. and in this case the how to exclude biological parental the parents so one trait is
8:54 am
not the biological child of either nicholai or dictatorial. after wards we took d.n.a. profile from florida and compared it with d.n.a. profiles from victoria and nikolai in this case the uptake. and not exclusion which indicates that biological parent to both parents is possible and the probability of this political power and that is ninety nine point nine nine nine nine nine nine eight percent which is almost one hundred percent which indicates that shorter is actually the biological child of toria a nicholai and not the belittle child of maria. maria storks trying to persuade field or just she understands now that she has no
8:55 am
such right. if you don't officially as with his biological parents he has decided to leave the room and move to moldova most likely never to return. to that of course she's far away just a little she's suffering. just so so it's hard for her to be without us she feels abandoned and of course i feel bad about it. but nothing can be done. we will try to help her somehow. the parents organized a party to celebrate their son's return to moldova doll family gathered together for the occasion nicholai and victoria were confident the field all was this regardless of any d.n.a. test hundred is still the boy who they raised for eighteen years as if he was their own will always remain dear to the. finish but now i think short as my brother can
8:56 am
call him a stranger we go my brother's. you know it is certainly joys that we have found our son of but we have never ever thought of abandoning andree. and i explained to my younger son's got to be two to ever say two hundred that he's not your brother even if you quarrel always remember that he's your brother and love him just like you always have. and if you. did you know. quite recently another boy appeared in the belmont a family nicholai in victoria have now adopted land that was abandoned by his parents.
8:57 am
knew. her the warmth of the family fireplace is what unites everyone in this home. in the parent's rests the spark of love for each child. but one who has no child to love is maria she's left all alone in the far northern city of your cook school.
