In the lawsuit, Krystena Murray alleges she “was turned into an unwitting surrogate, against her will” and had to surrender the baby five months after she delivered him.

Regardless, Murray resolved to raise the child. But after reporting the mix-up to the fertility clinic, she says, its staff tracked down and notified the baby’s biological parents. They demanded custody, Murray said, and she gave up the 5-month-old boy to avoid a legal fight she couldn’t win.

Krystena Murray says the error left her “emotionally broken” after she raised a boy for months before giving him up to his biological parents.

Krystena Murray says the child she gave birth to in December 2023 is black, but she and her sperm donor are both white.

A woman is suing a fertility clinic for transferring another couple's embryo into her uterus. They realized the error when she, a white woman, gave birth to a Black child.
