Overview
- Genetic testing confirmed the baby born to Tiffany Score in December 2025 is not biologically related to Score or her partner, Steven Mills, who have sued the Fertility Center of Orlando and its lead physician, Dr. Milton McNichol.
- Judge Margaret Schreiber directed weekly status conferences and ordered the clinic to certify outreach to patients from March 2020 through April 2025 with options to waive confidentiality for testing, with a private report due to the court before each hearing.
- Clinic attorneys cite HIPAA and state privacy protections, propose a safeguarded protocol, and report that most patients in the March 2020 retrieval group have been contacted, noting the small pools raise reidentification risks.
- Plaintiffs seek independent third‑party genetic testing at the clinic’s expense, disclosure of potentially affected patient groups, and an accounting of their embryos, including safeguards for a remaining cryopreserved embryo they do not want the clinic to biopsy.
- Attorneys identify two possible error windows—embryo creation in March 2020 or an April 2025 transfer—and say a woman who reported a transfer on the same April date has volunteered for genetic testing.
