Switched at birth....which child would you keep?

Question

8 years after you have a baby, you find out he/she was accidentally switched with another baby in the hospital. Would you keep the child you have raised & love and let the child you carried slip away? Or switch the kids back? 
After all, it's only 8 years and you can have the rest of your life with the cold you carried, but would it be too hard to leave the child you already love?
*rewatching desperate housewives and this happened to gaby & Carlos' daughter. This is not a real situation.* My husband and I had a convo about it so I'm wondering what others would do.

Answer

Keep the child ive clearly made a bond with.
I’m not just going to ditch the child I raised for 8 years. 
I doubt my *actual* child would run to me and say mom! After being raised by someone else.

Answer

Keep the child I’ve raised but work towards getting a relationship with the biological one. I would try really hard to make a connection with the other family.

Answer

I’d switch the baby’s back but ask that I still remain in the child’s life since that’s basically your kid now too. You can’t just develop a connect or bond with a child and throw it away especially after a extended period of time like that. Watching switched at birth got me thinking about this long ago.  Haha

Answer

I would want my biological child but still want to be in the other baby’s life

Answer

The baby you raised is the baby that’s “yours.”

Answer

Lol, I'd do what they did in the show switched at birth (but it was like 16 years not 8). Keep my "adopted" kid and get to know my bio kid

Answer

Keep the baby ive been raising. It wouldn't even be fair to the child to switch them back.

Answer

Keep the child I raised and hope the other family would do the same. And ask to be involved in the child’s life as we as they be involved in mine.

Answer

*afterall it's only 8 years* what? That's all those kiddos know and that statement is pretty much like it doesn't matter who raised them or loved them or cared for them... 😒 ok sorry had to get that out... I would want to know my child but I would not take them from the family and life they know, nor would I want someone to take my child... biological or not...

Answer

I’d prefer to keep the child I’d raised for 8 years, but if the biological parents wanted them back I couldn’t do anything about it
