According to court documents, several embryos were created using the genetic material of both, which were <strong>cryopreserved<\/strong> for later implantation.\n\nParents <strong>Steven Mills<\/strong> and <strong>Tiffany Score<\/strong>, fear that at least one of their embryos, created in 2020 and frozen in a fertility clinic, may have been mistakenly implanted in another woman who could be raising their biological child.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After the birth, the couple claims to have noticed that the baby presented physical traits that did not match those of either of them. According to the lawsuit, <strong>genetic tests<\/strong> were later performed, which confirmed that the minor <strong>does not share a biological link<\/strong> with the parents who carried her and received her after birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>You may be interested in: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/internacionales\/desaparecen-cientos-de-embriones\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/ab.deultimominuto.net\/internacionales\/desaparecen-cientos-de-embriones\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hundreds of embryos disappear after the closure of a fertility clinic in Bosnia<\/a><\/p>\n\n\nIn that regard, they asked an Orange County judge <strong>to order the clinic to explain what happened<\/strong>, notify other patients, and account for all stored embryos.\n\nSo far, <strong>the clinic and the doctor mentioned in the lawsuit have not issued public comments on the case<\/strong>.
