A
Los Angeles couple
filed a complaint Monday against a clinic specializing in in vitro fertilization (IVF) after realizing that
two fertilized eggs were exchanged
and that they had a daughter from another family.
When Daphna and Alexander Cardinale first saw their newborn baby in September 2019, they immediately noticed that the girl had darker skin and hair than the rest of the family, their lawyers say.
"Genetic testing revealed that the baby Alexander and Daphna had given birth and raised for several months had no genetic relationship to them. Their baby was
the biological daughter of complete strangers,
" added the firm Peiffer Wolf.
According to the lawsuit filed Monday in Los Angeles court, embryos from two unrelated couples were exchanged, allegedly due to negligence.
After discovering the error, the two couples met and
decided to regain custody of their genetic children,
in an exchange formalized by the courts.
However, the error left traces and suffering, argues the Cardinale couple in their complaint, which claims damages.
"The birth of our daughter should have been one of the happiest moments of my life. But I was immediately shocked and disturbed not to recognize her," lamented Alexander Cardinale.
"When the truth came out, swapping the children made it even more disturbing. Losing the child you know to the genetic child you don't yet know is really an impossible nightmare," he acknowledges.
