Episode Ep. - 1697 - SATURDAY SERIES: KYLE BYLIN
Kyle Bylin was switched at birth with Jeremy Morrison in a small North Dakota hospital, and did not learn the truth until he was 36 years old. The discovery came after a years-long trail of Ancestry DNA matches that did not add up, leading him to Morrison's biological aunt. That connection confirmed it: Bylin and Morrison, the only two babies born at Unity Medical Center in Grafton, North Dakota, on January 26, 1988, had gone home with each other's bracelets. On this Saturday Series episode, Kate Casey talks with Bylin, who was raised in Adams, North Dakota, by Evelyn Newton and Keith Bylin, about meeting his biological parents, Elizabeth O'Toole and Terry Morrison, for the first time as an adult, the unexpected traits and interests he shares with his biological family, and the identity questions the discovery raised after decades of a settled sense of self. He also discusses what it means to now navigate two sets of parents and the loss that comes with each. Bylin and Morrison's families have since filed a lawsuit against the hospital, which denies responsibility and says records from 1988 no longer exist. Bylin works as an assessment and research librarian and hosts the podcast Infinite Stream, about the impact of artificial intelligence on higher education.
