SHOCK AND AWE Thursday, July 10, 2008
Issues of paternity have a 50-50 chance at a happy ending, depending on what side you stand. In an odd turn of events for one young girl, the outcome was a 100-percent surprise. Seven years ago a routine blood test resulted in earth-shattering news for Francesca Correa, now 21. It turns out neither her mother or father are her biological parents. Yet, hours after Veronica Burbano had a Cesarean section and gave birth to a baby girl at Hospital Metropolitano in Ecuador, Francesca was delivered into her arms. No one knows what happened during those in-between hours, and the hospital will not release records of other female babies born that day claiming it's a privacy issue. While they have moved on, and remain a loving, close-knit family, painful questions still linger. If hospital policy changes, DNA testing can one day offer much sought after answers.
