A 38-year-old woman from Georgia is suing the fertility clinic she relied on to conceive a child after she discovered that the wrong embryo had been implanted in her.
This shocking revelation came to light immediately after the infant was born, as stated in the lawsuit. The lawsuit, filed in Georgia state court, alleged that Krystena Murray “unknowingly and unwillingly carried a child through pregnancy who was not biologically related to her.”
To add to her trauma, Murray had to give custody of the baby to his biological parents five months later.
Murray's lawsuit alleges she selected a sperm donor who was white with dirty blond hair and blue eyes. However, after the embryo was transferred to her in 2023, she was shocked to give birth in December to a “dark-skinned, African American baby.”
“The birth of my child was supposed to be the happiest moment of my life, and it was, but it was also the scariest,” Murray said at a news conference on Tuesday. She felt an immediate fear that the baby would be taken from her. “All the joy I felt when I first saw him was quickly replaced by fear. How could this happen?”
Despite that fear, Murray bonded with her baby and loved him, even after taking a DNA test, according to the lawsuit.
