A lawsuit was filed by a couple in Southern California, they say the Los Angeles-based fertility clinic implanted the wrong embryos into two women during in vitro fertilization procedures, then resulting in a life-changing mix-up for both of the families who unknowingly gave birth to children that weren't theirs and ended up raising them for several months.
The lawsuit that was filed on Monday say that Daphna and Alexander Cardinale, who both reside in Los Angeles County, were customers of the California Center for Reproductive Health and Dr. Eliran Mor in 2019.
The lawsuit says they trusted Mor and the fertility clinic to complete the IVF procedure. They had tried for years of have a second baby but had no luck. Once they had their healthy IVF baby, they were thrilled by the birth of a healthy baby girl, but Alexander Cardinale was shocked and confused by the baby's appearance.
He "expected to see a fair child, much like their older daughter. Instead, their birth daughter came out with much darker skin and jet-black hair," the lawsuit says. "She looked to be of a different race, which made no sense in light of Daphna and Alexander's respective backgrounds."
