Georgia Woman Sues Fertility Clinic Over Embryo Mix-Up

The woman unknowingly carried and gave birth to a child not biologically related to her, later returning the baby to its biological parents.

A Georgia woman has filed a lawsuit against a fertility clinic, alleging she was implanted with the wrong embryo during an IVF procedure.
She gave birth in December 2023 to a child who was not biologically related to her, confirmed by a DNA test after noticing the baby did not share her physical traits.
The woman raised the child for five months before relinquishing custody to the biological parents after they were identified by the clinic.
She claims to have suffered emotional, physical, and financial distress, as well as uncertainty regarding the fate of her own embryo.
The lawsuit seeks damages, citing the clinic's negligence and the profound personal impact of the error.
