Families Allege Babies Were Switched at North Dakota Hospital
A 2023 DNA test led the families to allege negligence and emotional distress after the men were raised by each other’s biological parents.
- Two North Dakota men are suing Unity Medical Center in Grafton, alleging they were switched at birth in 1988 after a 2023 DNA test revealed they were raised by each other's biological families.
- On Jan. 28, 1988, Elizabeth Toole and Terry Morrison welcomed Jeremy, while Evelyn Newton and Keith Bylin greeted Kyle 10 hours later—the only two babies born at the facility that day.
- For 35 years, Jeremy Morrison and Kyle Bylin lived about a county apart without knowing their true identities until discovering the truth in 2023 through a DNA test exploring German heritage.
- Attorney Tim O'Keeffe, representing the families through Brien Lyson Attorneys, said DNA results were "overwhelming" proof of the switch and noted one man still possesses a hospital wristband with the wrong name.
- Unity Medical Center denies all allegations in the complaint, while families remain seeking answers about how the switch occurred and whether others were affected, per WDAY News.
