Quick Synopsis:
For six years, two families have been raising one another's son without even knowing it. Now, they have to decided to switch their boys back or continue living as the family they have become?
My Thoughts:
This is the type of story line that makes me think what if that happened to me? I would hate to think that there could ever be a possibility that when or if I have a kid, he/she could be switched with another. My mother actually told me two accounts in our family that could have resulted in switched babies had it not been an obvious mistake. My mother was given a baby boy when I was born... I am a girl. My aunt was given a baby girl that was African American. We are Hispanic.
In this movie, the parents were not aware of the situation. They took home their baby boy not realizing that it was actually someone else's son. The boys are primary school children and to have their world turn upside down must be hard to fathom. We see their struggle with the situation and both families trying to find the best solution that would benefit the boys. They all love their son but feel they must have their biological son to raise.
Overall I would rate this drama with a 4/5.
