Overview
- The Fertility Center of Orlando said it will shut down and told patients to move their care to CNY Fertility, adding that frozen eggs and embryos should be transferred and many staff will remain on site under the new provider.
- Tiffany Score and Steven Mills sued after genetic tests showed the baby born in December 2025 was not biologically related to them, and defense filings do not dispute that error as judges press for DNA testing of other patients.
- Attorneys say the baby’s profile tested as 100% South Asian and the clinic identified one South Asian couple among 16 possible parents, with DNA results pending to confirm a match.
- At a court hearing, the clinic’s attorney said the business is being sold to a new operator, and the judge asked who will be responsible for the costs tied to DNA testing and potential liability.
- Records show earlier problems at the clinic, including a 2023 inspection citing outdated equipment and a lack of lidocaine, a $5,000 sanction in 2024, and a 2024 bankruptcy, underscoring how U.S. IVF clinics lack mandatory national oversight or error tracking.
