I wish Kim Mays had a better life. I can't imagine finding out you were switched at birth, and then have a years long custody battle over you.
I have read articles that claim the late father, Bob Mays was in on the switch. I know his wife died not too long after, and I wonder if she was already ill? I really wonder how a court can declare Bob Mays' wife (this woman was a step mother) when he died could be declared Kim's mother by a court? That makes zero sense, and as Kim Mays says, she doesn't have a mother. It sounds like both families kept the settlement money for themselves, since Kim claims she was destitute, after spending her settlement.

Here's an ABC article about the switch, and the theory that some relatives had about why the switch happened. The theory is that Mrs. Mays had been trying for years to have a baby, and had the baby with the heart issues. And the Twiggs already had five children, so someone deliberately switched the hospital bracelets, and gave the healthy baby to the Mays, and the sick baby to the Twiggs.
The ABC article also says one reason Kim is broke is because years ago she sold her settlement to an annuity company, and won't have access to the remaining money until she turns 70. This article said a nurse or aide said that the doctor did the switch, and the woman said nothing be cause she would have been fired, and lost her salary, and health insurance. Since the doctor, and almost everyone else involved is dead now, we'll never know. If the aide/nurse hadn't come forward because she was very ill, and couldn't stand keeping the secret any longer, then it would just be speculation. It had to have been a deliberate switch, because the girls were born several days apart, and had ID bracelets (one born 29 November, and the other on 2 December.
