I recently learned about Krystena Murray, a Georgia woman who is suing a fertility clinic after an IVF mixup led her to give birth to a baby that wasn’t hers. She discovered the error when the baby’s skin complexion was different from hers. While the birth was initially a joyful moment, it quickly turned to fear and confusion for her. After five months, she gave up custody to the biological parents, feeling the heartbreak of leaving the hospital with an empty stroller instead of her son.

NEW: Woman launches lawsuit after giving birth to a black baby that wasn’t hers thanks to an IVF mixup.
Georgia woman Krystena Murray is suing a fertility clinic after carrying another couples baby through birth.
Murray didn’t find out about the mixup until she gave birth to a baby that was a completely different skin complexion than her.
“The birth of my child was supposed to be the happiest moment of my life, and honestly, it was. But it was also the scariest moment of my life,” Murray said.
“All of the love and joy I felt seeing him for the first time was immediately replaced by fear. How could this have happened?”
Murray gave up custody of the child after five months to the biological parents.
The woman hoped it was just a sp*rm mixup but DNA testing proved the baby had no relation to her.
“I walked in a mom with a child and a baby who loved me and was mine and was attached to me, and I walked out of the building with an empty stroller, and they left with my son,” she said after giving the baby up.

The fertility clinic's actions have deeply wounded me, making me question motherhood. Giving birth should be a beautiful, profound experience, but mine was filled with shock and fear. While the birth of my child was the happiest moment of my life, it was also the scariest.
I've always wanted to be a mom. I loved and nurtured my child, but he is not genetically mine. He doesn't have my blood or my eyes, but he is my son. To carry a baby, to fall in love, deliver him, and build that bond, only to have him taken away is something I will never recover from. Part of me will always long for my son. I hope my story prevents this from happening to anyone else.
Speaker 0: The actions of the fertility clinic have come very close to destroying me, have left irreparable damage to my soul, and ultimately left me questioning whether I should be a mom or not. The moment you give birth and welcome your baby into the world is supposed to be this profound, beautiful, and life altering experience. All of the emotional and physical pain and sacrifice associated with pregnancy and preparing your entire life to welcome a child are worth it when the baby is placed in your arms where they should stay forever. My birth story is nothing like what you could ever anticipate. It is riddled with shock, confusion, fear.
The birth of my child was supposed to be the happiest moment of my life. And honestly, it was. But it was also the scariest moment of my life. I spent my entire life wanting to be a mom. I loved, nurtured, and grew my child, and I would have done literally anything in my power to keep him.
My baby is not genetically mine. He doesn't have my blood. He doesn't have my eyes. But he is and will always be my son. To carry a baby, to fall in love with him, to deliver him, to build that equally special bond between a mother and a child, all to have them taken away.
I'll never be the same woman. I will never fully heal or completely move on. And part of me will always long for my son and wonder what kind of person he's becoming. Postal Fertility Clinic has hurt me in ways that I have yet to discover, and there are literally no words or unit of measure that can describe the damage that they have caused. My hope in sharing my story is that this will help prevent this from ever happening to anyone else trying to start a family of their own.
