Overview
- The families filed a state-court complaint in July 2026 accusing Unity Medical Center of negligently switching two newborns delivered in January 1988 and asking for a jury trial and money damages.
- The discovery began in 2024 when an at-home DNA kit led Kyle Bylin to a biological aunt on a genealogy platform and confirmatory testing showed he and Jeremy Morrison were each raised by the other’s family.
- Plaintiffs cite physical artifacts and DNA results, including a hospital bracelet that misidentified one infant, as evidence that the babies were sent home with the wrong parents.
- Unity Medical Center acknowledges the births and that the infants were separated from their biological parents but denies hospital staff caused the swap and says relevant medical and staffing records and delivery personnel no longer exist.
- The case highlights how commercial DNA testing is uncovering rare birth‑mixups and how pre-digital recordkeeping and long staff turnover can make proving liability and causation difficult in decades-old claims.
