"While we are profoundly grateful to have Shea in our lives and love her immeasurably, we also recognize that we have a moral obligation to find her genetic parents, she wrote. Our joy over her birth is further complicated by the devastating reality that her genetic parents whom we do not yet know or possibly another family entirely, may have received our genetic embryo. We are heartbroken, devastated, and confused."
"Score went on to say that their family has been living like prisoners in our own home and that her post was made in part due to begin living more freely and to finally celebrate the one beautiful thing that has come from all of this: our daughter. She went on to say that the couple would not be issuing any further statements until further progress has been made by their legal counsel."
Tiffany Score and Steven Mills filed a lawsuit against IVF Life Inc (Fertility Center of Orlando) and Dr Milton McNichol after learning an implanted embryo was not genetically related to them. Three viable embryos were created using Score's eggs and Mills's sperm, and an embryo was implanted in April 2025. Their daughter Shea was born on 11 December. Score and Mills, both Caucasian, noticed the baby appeared to be a different race, and genetic testing confirmed no genetic relationship. The suit was filed in Palm Beach County circuit court, and the couple seeks monetary damages while publicly requesting information on Shea's biological parents.
