We are living in a time where you can donate your eggs and sperm for someone else to carry a baby that you may not be able too. Some people even donate their bodies to carry someone else’s child, some for a small fee, with the arrangement that once she gives birth the baby is all yours. With that in mind, a woman that carries any baby has to form some kind of attachment to it as well as a feeling of love for the unborn child. So what happens if a mistake is made in the whole In vitro fertilization process? We are about to find because a white Georgia woman is suing because the wrong embryo was placed in her, the mistake was found out when she delivered a black baby and they took they baby from her.
Krystena Murray, a 38-year-old wedding photographer from Savannah, Georgia had turned to Coastal Fertility Specialists, to conceive using a sperm donor. According to the lawsuit, filed in Georgia state court, Murray had carefully chosen a donor with physical traits similar to her own—white, with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes. However, when she delivered her child in December 2023, she immediately sensed something was wrong. The baby, she alleged, was “a dark-skinned, African American boy.” Despite the initial shock, Murray bonded deeply with the child. But a DNA test soon confirmed her worst fears—the baby was not biologically related to her. Coastal Fertility Specialists then identified and reached out to the child’s biological parents, who conducted their own DNA testing, confirming the baby was theirs. They subsequently sued for custody.
According to Krytena Murry:
“I walked in a mom with a child who loved me and was mine, and I walked out with an empty stroller while they left with my son.”
