(( In the end, there were tears in the courtroom.. for the first time in eight months the families involved in one of the most bizarre custody battles in legal history were actually speaking to each other again, exchanging pictures and hugs.
Paula Johnson had been seeking custody of her biological daughter Rebecca Chittum.. the four- year- old girl who was accidentally switched with another baby at the UVA medical center in 1995.
The switch came to light after Rebecca's parents were killed in a car crash last year.. an earlier agreement to share custody fell apart, and the two sides ended up in court.
After a two- day hearing, a judge agreed Paula could see Rebecca once a month, on major holidays and for three weeks during the summer.
