Guest FourAces Posted July 31, 2010 Posted July 31, 2010 Interesting article and outcome. SAO PAULO – Two years back, Dimas Aliprandi and Elton Plaster didn't know of each other's existence. Then they learned they had been accidentally switched at birth more than 20 years ago. The discovery didn't bring bitterness or recrimination. Rather, it led to the creation of a bigger family. Today, the two 25-year-olds are living and working together with both sets of parents growing vegetables and coffee on a small farm in southeastern Brazil. The chain of events started with Aliprandi, who was always intrigued that he did not resemble the four sisters he grew up with. "There was something different," he told The Associated Press by phone. "I had blonde hair and blue eyes and my sisters had dark hair and eyes. "I had the typical features of a descendent of German immigrants, while my sisters and parents were of Italian stock. Something did not add up" Aliprandi said he was 14 when his suspicions intensified after watching a TV news report on babies getting switched at birth because of mistakes at hospitals. "I told my father of my doubts and that I wanted to do a DNA test. But it was too expensive" for the family, he said. read the entire article here. Quote
Guest Klair Posted August 1, 2010 Posted August 1, 2010 Two guys switched at birth, and they now discover it. I wonder if they have sex with the girl who had been brought up as a sister, but it turns out there is no biological relationship, would it still be considered incest? Quote
