Second DNA test might solve 31-year-old baby mix-up mystery
Kelvin Li Kwok-yin, who was swapped at birth 31 years ago, is looking forward to seeing the result of a DNA test of a man born in the same hospital at the same time he was.
Perhaps the result, due at the end of this month, will end his quest to find out his real identity.
The anonymous man is the second to step forward to take a DNA test after Mr Li's story came to light at the end of last year. Hospital Authority spokesman Poon Kai-tik said the man would take the test in two weeks. The first man took the DNA test in January, but was found not to be the biological son of Mr Li's mother, Lui Fung-ha.
In March, the Hospital Authority wrote to 180 mothers who gave birth at the hospital between November 28 and December 14, 1976, inviting them to take DNA tests. That prompted five inquiries, but led to no new DNA tests, Mr Poon said.
'I will consider taking legal action against the Hospital Authority only after knowing the man's DNA test result,' Mr Li said. 'I hope my mother can find her natural son.'
Ms Lui said: 'I am still hopeful. [This man] gives us another chance ... I am very happy that he is willing to take the test.'
