Florida Couple Sues Fertility Clinic After IVF Mix-Up: Baby Not Genetically Theirs

  • A Florida couple is suing the Fertility Center of Orlando in Longwood and Dr. Milton McNichol after discovering their baby, born last year, is not genetically theirs.
  • The lawsuit alleges a "fertilisation error" during IVF resulted in the wrong embryo being implanted.
  • Suspicions arose after the baby's birth in December due to differing ethnicity; genetic testing confirmed no biological link to either white parent.
  • The couple, who underwent an embryo transfer in April 2025, wishes to continue raising the child due to a deep emotional bond.
  • They also feel a moral obligation to find the biological parents and hope the clinic helps them locate their genetic child.

Why It Matters: A Florida couple sued a fertility clinic after an IVF mix-up led to a baby not genetically theirs.
