A Florida couple who discovered the baby they conceived through in vitro fertilization (IVF) was not genetically related to them has reached an agreement allowing them to remain the child’s permanent custodial parents.
According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE, Tiffany Score and Steven Mills have finalized a custody arrangement with the baby girl’s biological parents, six months after her birth. The agreement allows the couple to continue raising the child, Shea Score Mills, despite learning that an embryo belonging to another family was mistakenly implanted during fertility treatment.
The couple has filed a lawsuit against the Fertility Center of Orlando, alleging that the clinic implanted the wrong embryo. They became suspicious after Shea was born and did not physically resemble either parent.
Through genetic testing, Tiffany and Steven were eventually able to locate Shea’s biological parents. In a statement provided to PEOPLE, a representative for the couple said they are grateful that the child’s biological family was identified and that concerns about Shea’s future have been resolved.
The representative also noted that both families are committed to maintaining a relationship built on friendship and trust while protecting the child’s privacy.
Court filings further reveal that Tiffany and Steven had previously created and stored three viable embryos with the Fertility Center of Orlando. The couple has since transferred their remaining embryo to another facility.
The Fertility Center of Orlando announced in April that it would be closing and transitioning operations to a new facility.
The case has drawn national attention and renewed discussions about oversight and accountability within the fertility industry.
