LONGWOOD, FLORIDA — Tiffany Score and Steven Mills confirmed that the biological parents of their daughter, Shea, have been identified following an embryo mix-up at a Longwood, Florida, fertility clinic. The couple said a DNA match confirmed the baby's genetic parents, whose identity would remain confidential.

Score and Mills sued the Fertility Center of Orlando and its head reproductive endocrinologist in January after learning their newborn was not genetically related to either of them. The couple underwent in vitro fertilization at the clinic, and both are white. According to their lawsuit, they decided to pursue genetic testing because their baby "displayed the physical appearance of a racially non-Caucasian child."

Mara Hatfield, an attorney representing the couple, said DNA testing revealed Shea is 100% South Asian. The clinic identified one South Asian couple from 16 sets of potential parents whose egg retrieval and embryo transfer dates were around the same time as Score's. In court documents, the defendants did not dispute that the baby "should be, but is not, the genetic child" of the plaintiffs, and said they were cooperating with requests to help identify the girl's biological parents.

"Only one thing is as absolutely certain today as it was on the day our daughter was born — we will love and will be this child's parents forever," Score and Mills said.

The couple's attorneys said there are still questions over what happened to the embryos believed to belong to Score and Mills. There is no indication that those embryos resulted in a child being born to another couple.

The Fertility Center of Orlando announced that it was closing and said another IVF network would open in the same location. The clinic said it made the decision to close after "thoughtful consideration."
