In May 2023, Krystena Murray of Georgia became pregnant following IVF therapy at the Coastal Fertility Center.
However, once Ms. Murray gave birth to a son who was not of the same ethnicity as either her or the sperm donor she had selected, it became evident that the embryo she had been carrying actually belonged to another couple.
Ms. Murray raised the child for several months until the biological parents were given custody because she wanted to retain the child despite the mistake.
“To carry a baby, fall in love with him, deliver him, and develop the uniquely special bond between mother and baby, all to have him taken away,” Ms. Murray said in a statement issued through her attorney.
