In an agonizing solution to the high-profile IVF mix-up case, the biological parents of a baby girl born to another couple have agreed to let the birth parents keep permanent custody.
The genetic parents, who include a South Asian couple who have chosen to remain anonymous, are now said to be heartbroken and would have preferred custody of the child.
However, they had to face a very uphill legal battle due to American laws favoring birth parents, leading them to prioritize the child's stability over a prolonged legal battle.
After Shea was born, Score and Mills noticed how she failed to share their racial or physical characteristics. Genetic testing was done to rule out that she was 100% South Asian and not related to them biologically.
The mistake arose at the Fertility Center of Orlando in Longwood, Florida, which has since then shut its doors thanks to several lawsuits.
