Two men are seeking answers and accountability from a North Dakota hospital, alleging they were switched at birth nearly 40 years ago. Kyle Bylin and Jeremy Morrison, who were born on January 26, 1988, at Unity Medical Center in North Dakota, claim they were unintentionally swapped and raised by the other's family.

The lawsuit was filed in state court last week. The discovery of the alleged switch came to light when Morrison, who now lives in Colorado, took a DNA test through Ancestry.com. The results indicated he was a match with Bylin's aunt.

Bylin and Morrison were the only two boys born at Unity Medical Center on that specific date, and their birth announcements were published next to each other in a local newspaper. This detail has fueled their suspicion that an error occurred.

"I would like to know if this was done intentionally," Morrison told CBS News. "I mean, you would think with only two babies it wouldn’t be too hard to get them to the right families, but apparently it was."

The hospital has stated that it no longer possesses the medical records from 1988, which prevents it from confirming the allegations. "While we deeply sympathize with the men and their families, we have found no evidence to support claims that Unity Medical Center or its staff were responsible for what occurred," the hospital said in a statement.

Evelyn Newton, Bylin's mother, expressed frustration with the hospital's response. "The hospital is 100% at fault," she said, adding that it deeply upsets her that the hospital appears to be dismissing the claim, stating that "nothing happened here."

Morrison described the situation as a "rollercoaster of emotions," calling the discovery both a "blessing and a curse." He acknowledged the family he grew up with and the values he was taught. "I also have the family I created for myself, too," he said, referring to his biological family. "My parents, Liz and Terry, taught me to be independent and to be resilient and that never let anything stop you in life and just keep going, as no matter how hard it gets, you always have family in … someone."

He is seeking an admission from the hospital that the switch occurred. "The hospital is 100% at fault," he charged.
