Kevin McMahon, a 64-year-old man from Long Island, recently uncovered that he was switched at birth in 1960 with another baby, Ross McMahon. This revelation came to light when his sister's DNA test revealed he was not biologically related to his family. The mix-up occurred at Jamaica Hospital, where both infants were given consecutive birth-certificate numbers. His childhood was fraught with doubt, culminating in a journey of self-discovery spurred by genetic testing. Kevin has since filed a lawsuit against the hospital for the switch that left him grappling with identity loss.
It was like the missing piece in the jigsaw puzzle, explained everything about why my childhood was the way that it was.
For a long time, I'm like, I'm not really Kevin McMahon. I'm really Ross McMahon ... I thought to myself, 'I'm nobody ... I don't exist.'
It was like a shock reaction. I literally couldn't come to terms with the information.
It's just hard to deal with, just hard.
