Woman gives birth to baby via IVF but immediately knew he wasn't hers... five months later she lost custody

A white woman who gave birth to a black baby through IVF and lost custody of the boy is now suing the fertility clinic she went through to have the procedure.

Krystena Murray, 38, filed a lawsuit Tuesday against Coastal Fertility Specialists in Savannah, Georgia, a little over a year after she gave birth in December 2023.

Since she chose to have a white sperm donor, she was immediately caught off guard when her baby was dark-skinned.

After taking a DNA test and reaching out to the clinic, she learned that another couple's embryo was mistakenly placed in her uterus, Business Insider reported.

That didn't stop Murray, a single woman, from falling in love with and bonding with her newborn, even though he wasn't genetically hers.

But just five months after giving birth, Murray lost custody of the child to his legal parents - the couple who had provided the embryo to the clinic.

'I've never felt so violated,' Murray said during a press conference with Peiffer Wolf, the personal injury firm representing her.

She added that she felt 'emotionally and physically broken' after having to relinquish her rights to a child who she fully thought was hers until he was born.
