Babies who don’t look like their parents… Husbands sue a fertility clinic

An American couple is suing a Los Angeles fertility clinic, accusing them of abuse, negligence, and fraud.

Where the clinic mixed their fetuses with one from a different family, each implanted in the wrong woman during IVF.

And according to what was published by the British newspaper “The Independent”, Alexander and Daphna Cardinale did not discover the truth about their child until two months after birth, as the appearance of the child raised many questions for the parents.

In an interview with People magazine, Alexander said he was puzzled, because the baby didn’t look like him or his wife, and he and his wife had had an IVF.

He added that his wife, at first, was not convinced that there was no resemblance because she felt familiar to her that she had conceived and gave birth to her.

Dafna agrees to have a DNA test done at home, and Alexander describes the moment of learning as catastrophic and as if the world is collapsing around them when he receives an email that the baby has no genetic connection to them.

For its part, the clinic acknowledged the process of mixing the fetuses with two other people and located the biological parents of their child.

After a number of visits between the two families, the couple decided to exchange the two young girls, leaving each one to live with her biological family. Nearly two years later, Alexander says, the two families have grown very close.
