Central Florida IVF Doctor Talks Potential Next Steps for Biological, Genetic Parents of Mix-Up
Genetic testing confirmed the child’s biological parents, and attorneys said the couple’s remaining embryo is still at the clinic.
- On Thursday, April 23, 2026, Florida couple Tiffany Score and Steven Mills confirmed genetic testing identified the biological parents of their four-month-old daughter, Shea, following an embryo mix-up at the Fertility Center of Orlando.
- Lawsuit records reveal the white parents initiated testing after noticing their daughter 'displayed the physical appearance of a racially non-Caucasian child,' ultimately confirming she was 100% South Asian.
- Genetic testing narrowed the search to 'Patient Four' among roughly 20 couples, as attorney Mara Hatfield stated the clinic identified the parents from 16 sets of potential matches.
- Despite acknowledging the baby 'should legally and morally be united with her genetic parents,' attorney Jack Scarola confirmed the couple currently has no plans to hand over Shea.
- The Fertility Center of Orlando will permanently close on May 20, 2026, leaving the couple with unanswered questions regarding their own three viable embryos stored at the facility.
