    ORLANDO, Fla. – A hearing is set for Tuesday involving a Florida family who is taking legal action against a Central Florida IVF clinic following the birth of a child who does not share their genetic makeup.

    According to the Orlando Sentinel, the couple, Steven Mills and Tiffany Score, welcomed a baby girl in December and subsequently filed a lawsuit in January against the clinic, IVF Life Inc, which operates as Fertility Center of Orlando.

    The lawsuit claims, “While both parents are racially Caucasian, Baby Doe exhibited the physical characteristics of a child who is racially non-Caucasian.”

    A family spokesperson revealed that genetic testing confirmed the baby is not biologically related to the couple.

    The couple is requesting the clinic disclose information about other individuals who underwent embryo transfers on the same day, including whether any agreed to genetic testing and the outcomes of those tests.

    The clinic’s legal representatives contend that releasing such information could compromise patient confidentiality.

    A spokesperson said an investigation into the “heartbreaking in vitro fertilization error described in our recently filed lawsuit” is ongoing.

    The couple said “there is hope that we will be able to introduce our daughter to her genetic parents and to find our own genetic child soon:”

    “We love our little girl, and if possible, we would hope to be able to continue to raise her ourselves with confidence that she won’t be taken away from us. At the same time we are aware that we have a moral obligation to find and notify her biological parents as it is in her best interest that her genetic parents are provided the option to raise her as their own.

    “Based upon leads discovered to date, and despite the lack of help or cooperation from the clinic, there is hope that we will be able to introduce our daughter to her genetic parents and to find our own genetic child soon. We prefer for the sake of everyone involved to pursue those goals in private. If and when those goals are achieved, or if continued privacy becomes an obstacle to correcting the terrible errors that place us in our current position, we will advise the media and again reach out for continued support.”

    Court records show that the couple reached out to the IVF clinic to figure out how to unite the baby with her real parents, though the clinic never provided a response.

    The lawsuit demands emergency relief for the following three points:

    • Inform Patients: Compelling the clinic to disclose what happened to other relevant patients to determine whether the baby girl in this case is actually their child (and determine whether another patient received the Does’ embryo)

    • Genetic Testing: Requiring the clinic to pay for genetic testing for all relevant patients and their children over the past five years while the clinic had custody of the Does’ embryos

    • Parental Discrepancy: Requiring the clinic to disclose any discrepancy in the parentage of the children of all patients whose birth resulted from embryo implantation through the clinic over the past five years

    Tuesday’s hearing is at 3:30 p.m.
