Mom Sues Central Florida Clinic After Giving Birth to the Wrong Baby
The couple seeks clinic-funded genetic testing and patient notification after a mix-up led to the birth of a child not genetically related to them, raising concerns about other possible cases.
- On January 9, 2026, John and Jane Doe filed an emergency complaint alleging IVF Life Inc. D/B/A Fertility Center of Orlando implanted the wrong embryo, and a judge reviewed the filings on January 14, moving venue to Orange County.
- The couple began IVF services at the clinic and created three viable embryos, implanting one in March 2025 that led to Baby Doe's birth on Dec. 11, 2025.
- The suit demands immediate court-ordered actions including notification of patients with stored embryos, clinic-funded genetic testing for relevant patients and children, and disclosure of parentage discrepancies over five years.
- On January 5 the couple says they alerted the clinic but received no substantive response, while IVF Life Inc. D/B/A Fertility Center of Orlando said it is cooperating and Florida Department of Health records show a $5,000 reprimand for Dr. Milton McNichol.
- With no federal reporting mandate, legal experts note U.S. IVF clinics lack uniform oversight, while prior cases in Georgia and California suggest broader impact on other patients and children.
