Krystena Murray , 38 , gave birth to an African American baby boy in December 2023 .

The baby's biological parents sued her for custody, and she gave up the only son she had ever known.

Murray sued the clinic for $ 75,000 , seeking damages, punitive damages, recovered attorney fees, treble damages and all other costs.

Krystena Murray and the Cardinale family were told their embryo had been switched with the embryo of another couple.

The Cardinales filed a lawsuit against their fertility clinic and reached a private settlement.

The American Society for Reproductive Medicine (ASRM) says that IVF is “ one of the most heavily regulated procedures in all American medicine”.
