quote:

A fertility clinic in New Jersey is being ordered to turn over a list of sperm donors after a white couple gave birth to an Asian baby. A recently filed lawsuit alleges Kristina Koedderich was given sperm from a man who was not her husband, and that the man passed on a genetic disorder. The couple is seeking monetary damages and information on their daughter's biological father.

Koedderich and Drew Wasilewski said that when they had trouble getting pregnant, they turned to the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science at St. Barnabas in New Jersey. In 2013, after in vitro fertilization, Koedderich gave birth.

But around the time when their daughter turned two, the couple realized that something was wrong. "She doesn't look like Drew," Koedderich remembers thinking.



quote:

In a statement, the clinic told CBS News that "the integrity of our treatment processes are paramount and we are taking this matter very seriously." According to the CDC, more than 78,000 babies were born as a result of reproductive technology performed at fertility clinics in 2017. But no one governmental agency regulates the fertility industry as a whole.

Koedderich and Wasilewski said their nightmare situation was a factor that led to their divorce. Both wonder how Wasilewski will one day explain this to the daughter he's raising as his own.

Not very bright folks I take it. It took them 2 years to realize their daughter was Asian??

There was another recent case where a couple gave birth to twins that ended up not being theirs biologically.


Fertility clinic mixed up the embryos before transferring them into the woman.

They had to give up the twins to the biological couple.

In all seriousness...that poor couple in the OP. I hope the fertility clinic pays up.

They got divorced because a fertility clinic messed up?

Sounds like they either needed a reason, or they are just using this in their lawsuit.

They said it was a factor, not the reason.


To be fair...infertility places a massive strain on a marriage. Not unusual for couples to divorce because of that strain.

Congratulations to the couple.

and by that i mean as far as mix-ups go you hit the power ball jackpot. straying from your own gene pool is not always a bad thing (for mankind). don't be selfish, raise this child as best you can and enjoy the fruits of the mix-up.

A fertility screw up happened in New Orleans a few years ago too.

I think it was more than just one case.
