The maternal grandparents of one of the babies switched at birth at the U-V-A Medical Center say they want to adopt the child their daughter was raising.
That's according to the grandparent's attorney.
Three- year- old Rebecca Chittum's parents were among the seven killed in a July Fourth car accident.
D-N-A tests released yesterday show Chittum is the biological daughter of Paula Johnson.

Rebecca was apparently switched with three-year old Callie Johnson shortly after their birth in June of 1995.
