Switched at Birth

Hello, Cas' class!

Have you ever heard of babies being switched at birth? What do you think would happen if baby A went home with family B and baby B went home with family A?  Would the babies grow up to be more like the parents who gave them their genes or more like the parents who raised them?

Visit the This American Life website to listen to a podcast about two baby girls who really went home with the wrong families! One mother knew about the mistake, but the other mother didn't. The secret was kept for over 40 years. Find out what happened.

If you want to read while you listen, click "PLAY" and also click "TRANSCRIPT."

When you finish, feel free to use any of the websites on the right to practice English. Be prepared to discuss the story in class.
