Two mothers who gave birth on the same day, at the same hospital, made an unconventional decision when they found out their daughters had been accidentally switched at birth. They merged families, raising their girls under the same roof, and today they are inseparable.
Marinella Alagna and Gisella Fodera, from the Sicilian town of Mazara del Vallo, Italy, gave birth to daughters Caterina and Melissa 10 minutes apart on Jan. 1, 1998, in the city’s public Abele Ajello Hospital. However, the newborns were somehow swapped by the staff while dressing them.
