Florida Couple's Unexpected Journey: Raising Child from IVF Mix-Up

A Florida couple discovered their newborn, delivered through IVF, was not genetically related to them. The biological parents have now been identified.

Discovery of the Mix-Up

Tiffany Score and Steven Mills realized something was amiss after their daughter Shea's birth. They filed a lawsuit against the Fertility Center of Orlando in January upon learning the baby was not genetically theirs.

DNA Test Results

The couple proceeded with genetic testing after noticing Shea's appearance differed from theirs. Attorney Mara Hatfield revealed DNA results showed Shea is 100% South Asian, leading the clinic to identify the biological parents from a group of potential candidates.

Emotional and Legal Impact

The biological parents have been confirmed but remain unidentified publicly. Despite this discovery, Score and Mills emphasized their enduring love for Shea. They stated, "We will love and will be this child’s parents forever."

The legal case continues as court documents reveal the fertility clinic has not disputed the error and is cooperating to address the situation.
