DNA test leads Las Vegas family to sue fertility clinic over wrong embryo

[@robinhood2454]

I feel the worst for the kid. 😢

[@ZERODESTRUCTION]

The lawyer callled the kid a mistake 😮. The two kids should get to split the $30,000.

[@sukn7091]

The saddest thing is that they were charged hundreds of thousands of dollars and they can’t even keep the embryos straight. I think more money goes to lawyers and insurance than good healthcare workers.

[@Solscapes.]

True, but most trickles up.

[@j.h.6081]

"She's not their child." Weird for the lawyer to put it that way. She is their child. She's just not their biological child.

[@Mexicano1768]

its something hard to explain an understand, believe me. I didn't take it that seriously, either should you...

[@mikeicee]

That's a human pet not your child!

[@stephaniejames4940]

In my research, this is not uncommon to find this out via DNA. I have heard in many cases in my DNA groups how this is not done by accident, but by the doctor sometimes using his own sperm.

[@levelintent]

why are people in healthcare so asinine?

[@stephaniejames4940]

@@levelintent I don't have that answer.

[@starriderkittykat9064]

Hopefully there are records of all woman who went to that clinic and tell them to have their dna tested with their children..

[@TangentOmega]

Adopt her???? Did this DNA test also change her birth certificate?

[@tinadiesman5442]

It doesn't matter, you raised her! She is your child. Nothing can change the bond.

[@QueenAnaya-x7b]

👀 I’m sure that’s not their only case. They probably been doing that.

[@sukn7091]

Again, $30000 pay off. Until we fix our system and start pulling licenses, instead of just paying for mistakes with insurance, these issues won’t get fixed and the cost of medical care will continue to skyrocket.

[@aliciagwrjrnfj]

Why would they take 30k!?

[@KS-cl8br]

I know this is a 7 figure worth lawsuit

[@BabyT709]

They didnt, the dr settled another suit for negligence 18 years ago it said

[@myoldvhstapes]

IVF embryos are not "implanted" into a womb. They are "transferred." The embryo will later implant or not, due to many factors.

[@BusArch42]

Yup. And it’s a rough wait. I’ve done six transfers. Three kids and two are twins.

[@myoldvhstapes]

@@BusArch42 Whoo, congratulations!

[@BusArch42]

@@myoldvhstapes thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@BabyT709]

I dont understand why he has to adopt her, she was born to the mother and their names are on the birth certificate, as far as the government knows she is their daughter. Are they gonna tell the government now oops actually she isnt our daughter but we'd like to adopt her back? Do parents of ivf babies or who use surrogates have to "adopt" their baby?

[@user-fc2xk3uv8y]

some people who use surrogates do legally have to adopt yes, but i do see what you are saying

[@reachandler3655]

I feel sorry for the daughter, the fact her parents are suing likely causes her to feel rejected.

[@MrPaultopp]

She’s a woman now …..it’s a fact and I’m sure she’s on board with her parents ……..May she done a dna test and found out herself? Feeling Rejected ? I don’t think so …….

[@BusArch42]

He doesn’t have to adopt. His name is on the birth certificate

[@mikeicee]

The father is in high hopes his biological kid was implanted in someone else and he can adopt his actual child.

[@tvviewer4500]

This happens hundreds of times every day. Get ready for it to be even more common as people let them selves have no idea how to have kids

[@9ofClovers]

Very disturbing

[@kelleygreengrass]

Adopted is the better option

[@ACAB.forcutie]

It actually isn't

[@BusArch42]

Not if you are rejected. We were told we were too “old” by the adoption group. I was 33 and hubby was 35. Thankfully we were able to do IVF and have children. Around the same time there was a case in Missouri where a couple adopted a baby from the birth mom and raised her for two years. After two years birth mom ( who lied about not knowing who the father was) brought a lawsuit to erase the adoption based in the father not having being allowed to make that decision. The judge erased the adoption and gave a bonded two year old to people she had not seen since birth. Yeah - no thanks. I would never suggest adoption today. There are no legal protections for the adopting parents.

[@kelleygreengrass]

@@BusArch42 there's plenty of protections my uncle adopted in his 30s but it was in KS and an international adoption

[@BusArch42]

@@kelleygreengrass there are few protections today. A case where a judge can turn over an adoption ruling and take a child from their parents means only if both birth parents go to court and relinquish rights can you safely adopt. That is very rare now. In the last 20 years things have changed dramatically. And international is the only route we would have gone. For international they have to have parental rights terminated in their originating country. The process takes years. One of my friends adopted an orphan from Liberia about 15 years back. The court in Liberia awarded her to them and it took two years after that to actually get her to the USA. The way foster and adoptive parents are treated in the USA is the reason so many children are in foster care and awaiting adoption.

[@ACAB.forcutie]

@@BusArch42 that's not the only issue with adoption. Adoption itself is traumatic.

[@SongMom8]

This is why “test tube babies” are a bad idea.

[@katyafan]

So they are better off not having a child? All these people shouldn't exist?

[@BusArch42]

They allowed us to have a family. We were rejected for adoption due to age but were able to have three children using IVF. We did not test them

[@mikeicee]

LOL probably many more guys get tricked the normal that with test tube errors

[@MichaelInTheDesert]

A mistake??!

[@UniShuoi-e6z]

Nevada transreproductive clinics and doctors are notoriously sketchy, the more serious consequences involve having babies with severe health defects let alone putting the host at risk for harm as well

[@WBWLM]

No mix up when done the proper, natural way.

[@barcelonachair6487]

Not everybody can be so fortunate to conceive traditionally. It doesn't imply that it is most "proper" if it doesn't require medical assistance.
