On the 29th local time of this month, Tiffany Score and Steven Mills, a white couple in Orlando, Florida, filed a lawsuit in the Orange County Circuit Court. Alleging that the Orlando Fertility Center operated by local IVF Life, Inc. made serious mistakes during the IVF process,Implanting other people's embryos into Tiffany's body resulted in her giving birth to a black baby girl who was unrelated to both parties on December 11, 2025. The whereabouts of their own embryos are still unknown..
As early as 2020, the couple started IVF treatment to create and freeze their own embryos. In April last year, Tiffany underwent an embryo transplant. The clinic claimed that the embryos they had frozen for 5 years were implanted. In December, Tiffany gave birth to a baby girl, but the child's skin was dark and very different from that of white people.
To be cautious, the couple took their newborn for genetic testing, and the results confirmed that the child had "no genetic relationship" with them., and later contacted the clinic many times to request explanations and help in finding the child's biological parents, but received no substantive response.
Recently, the couple formally filed a lawsuit, accusing the clinic of medical negligence, breach of contract and other crimes.
Require the clinic to pay for medical expenses, emotional distress, and additional future costs of raising the child (including cultural adaptation, racial identity support, etc.).
At the same time, the clinic is forced to provide all relevant medical records to help find the child's biological parents and the whereabouts of the couple's own embryos, admit fault, punish the relevant responsible persons, and implement comprehensive safety rectification.
Similar cases are not uncommon in the United States. In February last year, a white woman in Georgia sued a fertility clinic, claiming that she gave birth to a black baby boy from a stranger and was forced to return the baby to his biological parents five months later.
