REPORT: Couple sues fertility clinic after alleged embryo mix-up results in birth of ‘non-Caucasian child’ not biologically theirs

February 1, 2026

From the New York Post: A Florida couple claims a fertility clinic error led to the birth of a “non-Caucasian child” who was not biologically theirs, according to a lawsuit.

Tiffany Score and Steven Mills allege that Orlando fertility clinic IVF Life, Inc., and its head reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Milton McNichol, implanted another patient’s embryo in Score’s uterus in April 2025, the Orlando Sentinel reported on Thursday.

In 2020, Score and Mills stored three viable embryos at the clinic — which boasts about its “advanced fertility care” and “cutting-edge technology” — for in vitro fertilization, a process that creates embryos and stores them until pregnancy.

Five years later, after an embryo was implanted, the couple gave birth to a “beautiful, healthy female child” on Dec. 11, 2025, according to the lawsuit filed Jan. 22 in Orange County Circuit Court and obtained by Law & Crime.

However, the couple are White, and the baby was clearly of another race. Genetic testing later confirmed the baby had “no genetic relationship” to either parent.

Now the couple are not only concerned that the baby should be reunited with her biological parents, but are also devastated and fearful of what happened to their embryos and whether another couple are raising their baby.
