A couple who were given the wrong baby by a hospital in El Salvador a year ago, have finally been allowed to travel home with the correct child. Rich Cushworth - who is British - and his wife, Mercedes - were only given a birth certificate for their son Moses a few days ago. They landed back home in Dallas, Texas this week where they have been speaking exclusively to our correspondent Matthew Price.

You can tell that she still misses the other baby she raised for three months as her own 😞
What a traumatic experience!

Doctors and nurses gaslighting patients when they’re not even sure themselves, is such a real thing.

Hospital staff stick together no matter the cost. Shameful 😢

I am six months pregnant, my husband knows he has ONE job ☝🏻 to make sure his eyes NEVER leave our baby. I can’t imagine her pain and suffering. The trauma 😢it’s inhumane.

Saying they wanted to keep the baby they raised but also wanted their birth child. Im sure the other parents felt the same way

Thank God you got your son back. A mother’s instinct is so powerful, you can’t dismiss it just like. So glad you stuck with it.

They better sue the shit out of that hospital. That’s all.

The trauma within the mother should not be underestimated..you can see and feel the intense pain when she relives the heartbreak 😢

How traumatizing for everyone involved. I hope a good lawyer is watching. This hospital deserves to be sued.

Those doctors gaslit her. If a mom says "this isn't my baby" a doctor's FIRST reaction should be to order a dna test, not try and convince her she is wrong.

How often does this go on and parents never know.

If my baby had gone to the wrong family I’d be so relieved it was with this beautiful mum, I’m so glad you went with your instincts and had the boys switched back before they were old enough to understand 😍

It’s SO disgusting, unprofessional and irritating how often some medical “professionals” outright dismiss a mother’s questions and concerns.

I’m proud of her for standing up and following her gut and so disappointed that people around her wouldn’t listen.

These poor parents. Lost their initial bonding with their baby. I hope the hospital gets sued big time for such an emotional roller coaster

This baby has his mouth and nose. She was totally right. They should have doubled checked after her concerns.

@altcodex5625 5 years ago

The moment she started crying I felt like to sue hospital myself.

The fact that her first thought wasn’t her biological baby, but this baby that she has been raising and falling in love with... that’s a real mother right there. Mourning a baby that wasn’t hers ☹️

They should sue the shit out of that hospital!!!

If I had a friend who kept asking if that was her baby, I’d be very concerned with my friend’s mental status. I feel bad that indeed this woman was right and no one took her seriously.
