Baby 81

Posted on February 20, 2005. Filed under: News | Tags: , , , |

Remember the “Baby 81″ stories from the New York Times the last several weeks? How this baby was the 81st admitted to a Sri Lanka Hospital and 9 separate women all claimed the baby as their own, one mother claimed the baby had been washed out of her arms during the tsunami, and it took a DNA test to prove she was the right mother? Very touching stories, and the birth mother eventually got her baby back.

Except large parts of the story were fabricated. Only one mother ever claimed the baby as her own. Details at Lanka Business Online.

* Thanks to Wizbang and Michelle Malkin for the tip.
