IVF drama: Mother gives birth to someone else's baby
A
mother spent months raising someone else’s baby after a mix-up at an IVF
clinic.
Daphna and her husband Alexander went for treatment at an IVF clinic based in California and discovered that the child they had was not theirs.
They were first suspicious because the baby had a darker complexion then they did, but they fell in love with it anyway and three months later they discovered that the baby wasn’t genetically related to either of them.
