The lawsuit said that the woman, Krystena Murray, 38, is sued coastal fertility specialists, which is the artificial vaccination clinic based in South Carolina, for the devastating mix. The actions of the clinic, which led to the loss of the child’s custody after months of bonding with him, “have left unorganized damage to my soul.” She said at a press conference As mentioned by NBC News.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, coastal fertility specialists said that the clinic “regrets the distress caused by an unprecedented mistake that has been confused by the fetal transport.”

Mrs. Murray among A handful of stories Regarding the mixture after fertilization in the laboratory, the procedure that is widely used by people who seek to have children and is subject to new scrutiny with Roe V. Wade President Trump’s policies are awaited on reproductive rights. Mr. Trump said he hoped to expand and reduce practice, a step that can bother people in more conservative circles.
stories Artificial insemination mixes are very rare. However, those who spoke horrific for all concerned, often lead to severe decisions about the future of the child, and sometimes years after the child’s raising by people who are not biological parents.
“The laws related to this are not particularly evident, and there are not many of them,” said Marie Ziegler, a law professor at the University of California Law Faculty in Davis. “There were other mixing cases like this, but finding a clear precedent is difficult.”
According to court documents, Mrs. Murray, a single woman, sought to obtain the services of coastal fertility specialists to visualize a child with a chosen sperm donor. Mrs. Murray underwent the transfer of the fetus in May 2023.
Mrs. Murray said that she knew as soon as the child was born, in December 2023, that something did not go as planned: Mrs. Murray, who described the lawsuit as a Caucasian woman with fair skin, was donated by sperm and said the lawsuit was “physically similar.” But the child was born dark skin and appears to be an American of African origin, according to the lawsuit.
Mrs. Murray said she realized that there was a coastal fertility error, and it was likely to be planted with the wrong fetus.
However, Mrs. Murray took the child to the home, sponsored him, and his infants, and took him to the dates of the doctor. She avoided friends and family, for fear of the clear conclusion that the child was not her salary, and did not publish any pictures on social media. At a family funeral, she tied a blanket to the child’s pregnant woman so that no one could see him, according to court documents.
After the hospital refused to request the DNA test, she said that she had conducted a genetic test at home in January 2024, which proved her fear: the child she gave birth to was not linked to her. I told the clinic and I hope to teach the couple who were carrying her child.
The lawsuit said: “It is possible that Mrs. Murray believes that the coastal fertility has moved her fetus to this other husband.”
The couple who were found that biological parents had filed a lawsuit against Mrs. Murray for custody. Despite her desire to keep the child, she gave the boy to the couple in May 2024, after she advised her lawyers that she would not win a custody dispute.
The statement issued by the coastal fertility said that “all Mrs. Murray’s embryos have been calculated and available at any time,” adding that he is still committed to “supporting all families affected by transparency and mercy.”
Mrs. Murray has not seen the child since she gave up the other couple in May. In an interview on Wednesday, she said she would leave the couple’s choice if they wanted to call.
She said, “I leave contact with them.”
The clinic said that the mixed was “isolated in our 15 -year -old history” and that no other patients were affected. “On the same day that this error was discovered, we immediately conducted an in -depth review and put additional guarantees in place to increase patient protection and to ensure that such an accident does not happen again.”
Mrs. Murray said that she “has no interest in using the embryos that were stored in the coast,” but added that she did not give up hope. She said, “I started to continue my journey with another clinic.”
