A Georgia woman is suing a fertility clinic after she gave birth to a baby conceived through in vitro fertilization and subsequently lost custody of the child to his biological parents, according to a lawsuit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The woman, Krystena Murray, 38, is suing Coastal Fertility Specialists, an I.V.F. clinic based in South Carolina, for the devastating mix-up, the lawsuit said. The clinic\u2019s actions, which led to her losing custody of the baby after months of bonding with him, \u201chave left irreparable damage to my soul,\u201d she said at a news conference<\/a> as reported by NBC News.<\/p>\n

In a statement issued on Wednesday, Coastal Fertility Specialists said that the clinic \u201cdeeply regrets the distress caused by an unprecedented error that resulted in an embryo transfer mix-up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile this ultimately led to the birth of a healthy child, we recognize the profound impact this situation has had on the affected families, and we extend our sincerest apologies,\u201d the emailed statement said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Ms. Murray\u2019s is among a handful of stories<\/a> regarding mix-ups after in vitro fertilization, a procedure that is widely used by people seeking to have children and that has come under new scrutiny with the repeal of Roe v. Wade<\/a> and the anticipation of President Trump\u2019s policies on reproductive rights. Mr. Trump has said that he hopes to expand the practice and lower its cost, a move that could irk people in more conservative circles.<\/p>\n

Stories of I.V.F. mix-ups are exceedingly rare<\/a>. Still, those that do occur are harrowing for all involved, often leading to gut-wrenching decisions about a child\u2019s future, sometimes years after the child has been raised by people who are not the biological parents.<\/p>\n
