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.'
Mr Li, born on November 30, 1976, discovered late last year that he had been swapped when his sister realised his blood type meant he could not possibly be his mother's natural son.
The search for the truth extended to the Chuk Yuen Children's Reception Centre, where the woman Mr Li knows as his mother left her baby for a month.
After a meeting with Mr Li's family yesterday, Director of Social Welfare Stephen Fisher said 25 children were  admitted to the Chuk Yuen Children's Reception Centre in December 1976; some  were  later  adopted.
Mr Fisher said the department would check the records of the children who had been adopted between 1976 and 1978 to see if any boy the same age as Mr Li had stayed at the Chuk Yuen Children's Reception Centre.   It would write to the adoptive parents concerned, to invite their sons to take DNA tests.
