Summary
Tiffany Score and Steven Mills reached an agreement this month to keep the baby born after another couple’s embryo was mistakenly implanted in Score during IVF.
A genetic test soon after the girl’s December birth showed she had no genetic link to either Score or Mills, confirming the embryo mix-up.
The baby’s genetic parents, who also live in Florida, relinquished their claim after multiple meetings between the two couples, according to their lawyer.
The agreement still allows the genetic parents to have contact with the child, resolving a central dispute in a case described by those involved as agonizing.
