Destiny Met After 35 Years... The Astonishing Story of Two Women Swapped at a Hospital
I was truly astonished when I heard this news! 😲 A single mistake at a hospital 35 years ago completely changed the lives of two women. These two women, who were given to different families shortly after birth, have finally reunited, and their story is deeply moving. It's truly like a scene from a movie, isn't it?

Hello everyone! Today, I'd like to share a truly movie-like, astonishing, and heartwarming piece of news.
Have you ever felt, like the protagonists in 'Gone with the Wind', that something was amiss throughout your life, or questioned your roots? Here is the story of two women who lived for 35 long years without finding their true families. It's truly unbelievable that such an event can happen in reality.
The Truth Revealed After 35 Years, and the Reunion
The protagonists of this story are Doris Grünwald and Jessica Baumgartner, born in the southern Austrian city of Graz. The two were born in October 1990 at the LKH-Uniklinikum hospital in Graz. Unfortunately, both babies were born prematurely. 😥
The problem occurred immediately after birth. Due to a hospital error, these two babies were mistakenly given to the wrong parents. In other words, they were swapped at birth. Subsequently, the two women grew up in different families.
Unending Questions, and the Journey Towards Truth
As time passed, in 2012, Doris Grünwald discovered that her blood type was different from her mother's while donating blood. This small question became the catalyst for her to uncover the truth about her biological parents. 🧐
Around the same time, Jessica Baumgartner also realized that her blood type did not match her parents' during her pregnancy. With the help of an obstetrician, she became aware of this fact and also began to question the secret of her birth.
These two women's stories were previously reported by the Austrian public broadcaster ORF in 2016. However, it seems there were difficulties in finding Jessica's biological family at the time. Jessica was raised by the couple Herbert and Monika Derler.

Coincidence or Destiny?
For 35 long years, the two women grew up under different families and lived their own lives. But ultimately, was it destiny that their biological connection would bring them back together? 💖
A small hospital error created a gap of 35 years, but eventually, through the efforts to uncover the truth and find each other, the two finally met. Born in Graz, Austria, these two women learned of each other's existence only after 35 years, gaining the possibility to connect with the 'true family' they had been searching for so desperately.
Finding one's roots and facing hidden truths is never an easy task, and I believe both of them were truly brave. Hearing this story makes me think once again about the countless stories, coincidences, and destinies hidden within our lives.
