A Poland court recently awarded over $500,000 to the families of three women, who were all involved in a switched-at-birth mistake.

When two-week-old twins Kasia and Nina were taken to a Warsaw hospital in 1984 with pneumonia, Nina was accidentally swapped with another child at the hospital named Adita. When the two girls sent home together began to show very different appearances, doctors told the family that they were probably not identical twins, as once believed, but more likely just fraternal twins. Seventeen years later, Kasia was told by a friend that she looked exactly like another girl who lived just across town. When they met, they had similar birthmarks, and their interests were even the same.

DNA later confirmed the switch, and the results have reportedly taken a heavy toll on the mother of the twins. -- http://listverse.com/
