Fertility Clinic Closes Amidst Embryo Mix-Up Scandal
4 Apr
Summary
- Fertility clinic closes after a couple gave birth to the wrong biological child.
- The clinic is accused of a mistake that resulted in an embryo mix-up.
- Patients have until April 15 to arrange for transfer of cryopreserved specimens.
The Fertility Center of Orlando, operated by IVF Life, is ceasing its operations. This decision follows an earlier lawsuit filed by a couple, Tiffany Score and Steven Mills, who alleged a significant error occurred during their in vitro fertilization treatment in March 2025. The couple reported giving birth in December 2025 to a baby girl who had no genetic relationship to either of them. The clinic stated it is cooperating with an investigation to determine the source of the error.
Patients have been informed of the closure and have until April 15 to arrange for the transfer of their cryopreserved specimens. The clinic's website statement offers recommendations for continued fertility care, assuring patients that many familiar staff members will remain involved. The news of the clinic's sale was revealed during a court hearing on March 30, raising questions about liability for ongoing testing to identify the baby's biological parents.
