Two sets of parents have a legal agreement about a child. A clinic in Florida put the wrong embryo in a mother.

兩對父母就一名孩子簽署了法律協議。一家位於佛羅里達州的診所將錯誤的胚胎植入了母親體內。

Tiffany Score and Steven Mills went to a clinic for a baby. The doctor put the wrong embryo in Tiffany. A baby girl named Shea was born. The parents saw that the baby did not look like them. A test showed the baby is from South Asian parents.

Tiffany Score 與 Steven Mills 前往診所準備迎接孩子。醫生將錯誤的胚胎植入了 Tiffany 體內。隨後一名叫 Shea 的女嬰出生了。父母發現孩子長得不像他們。檢測顯示，這名嬰兒源自南亞父母。

The clinic found the real biological parents. These parents did not want to fight in court. They want the baby to be happy. They agreed that Tiffany and Steven will be the permanent parents. The biological parents can still visit the child.

診所找到了真正的生物學父母。這對父母不想在法院打官司，他們希望孩子能獲得快樂。他們同意由 Tiffany 和 Steven 擔任永久父母。生物學父母仍可探視孩子。

The clinic made many mistakes. Other patients may have the wrong babies too. The clinic is now closed. The biological parents are angry and want money from the doctor and the clinic.

該診所犯了許多錯誤。其他患者可能也植入了錯誤的胚胎。該診所目前已經關閉。生物學父母感到憤怒，要求醫生與診所支付賠償金。

The baby stays with the first parents. The biological parents help the child and sue the clinic.

嬰兒將留在第一對父母身邊。生物學父母將協助孩子並起訴診所。

Two sets of parents have reached a legal agreement regarding the custody of a child born after a mistake occurred during embryo implantation at a Florida clinic that is now closed.

兩對父母就一名兒童的監護權達成法律協議，該名兒童是在佛羅里達州一家現已關閉的診所發生胚胎植入錯誤後出生。

The problem began at IVF Life, Inc., where Dr. Milton McNichol was the lead doctor. Tiffany Score and Steven Mills had paid the clinic to store three embryos; however, the embryo implanted in March of last year was not genetically related to them. When their child, Shea, was born in December, the parents noticed the child did not look like them. Genetic tests later confirmed that the infant is of 100% South Asian descent.

問題始於 IVF Life, Inc.，當時的首席醫生是 Milton McNichol 醫生。Tiffany Score 和 Steven Mills 付費請診所儲存三個胚胎；然而，去年三月植入的胚胎在基因上與他們並無關聯。當他們的孩子 Shea 於十二月出生時，父母發現孩子長得不像他們。隨後的基因檢測確認，該嬰兒為 100% 南亞裔。

After a lawsuit began in January, the clinic searched for the biological parents, known in legal papers as Patient 004. Although they are the genetic parents, they decided not to fight for custody because they wanted to avoid a long legal battle and believed it was in the child's best interest. Consequently, an agreement was signed on June 12, naming Score and Mills as the permanent parents. This arrangement allows the biological parents to stay in the child's life while building a trusting relationship with the custodial parents.

在一月開始訴訟後，診所搜尋了生物學父母，在法律文件中被稱為 Patient 004。儘管他們是基因上的父母，但他們決定不爭取監護權，因為他們希望避免長期的法律之爭，並認為這符合孩子的最佳利益。因此，雙方於 6 月 12 日簽署協議，指定 Score 和 Mills 為永久父母。此安排允許生物學父母留在孩子的生活中，並與監護父母建立信任關係。

Regarding the clinic's mistakes, the parents claimed that the laboratory errors were a widespread problem. They argued that all patients from the last five years should be tested. While IVF Life, Inc. said it was cooperating with the investigation, the clinic has since stopped operating. Furthermore, the biological parents have stated that they plan to sue the clinic and Dr. McNichol for damages.

關於診所的錯誤，父母聲稱實驗室錯誤是一個普遍問題。他們主張過去五年的所有患者都應接受檢測。雖然 IVF Life, Inc. 表示正配合調查，但該診所隨後已停止營運。此外，生物學父母表示他們計劃起訴該診所及 McNichol 醫生要求損害賠償。

The child will stay with the parents who raised them, while the biological parents will provide support and seek legal compensation from the medical providers.

孩子將留在撫養他們的父母身邊，而生物學父母將提供支持並向醫療提供者尋求法律賠償。

A legal agreement has been reached between two sets of parents regarding the custody of a child born via a mistaken embryo implantation at a now-defunct Florida clinic.

兩對父母就一名因佛州一家已停業診所植入胚胎錯誤而出生之孩子的撫養權，達成了法律協議。

The incident originated from services provided by IVF Life, Inc. (formerly the Fertility Center of Orlando) and its lead reproductive endocrinologist, Dr. Milton McNichol. Tiffany Score and Steven Mills contracted the facility for the cryogenic storage of three embryos; however, the implantation performed in March of the preceding year involved an embryo not genetically linked to the couple. Upon the birth of the child, Shea, in December, the plaintiffs noted a racial discrepancy, as the child displayed non-Caucasian physical characteristics. Subsequent genetic analysis confirmed the infant is of 100% South Asian descent.

此事件源於 IVF Life, Inc.（原為奧蘭多生育中心）及其首席生殖內分泌學專家 Milton McNichol 醫師提供的服務。Tiffany Score 與 Steven Mills 委託該機構冷凍保存三個胚胎；然而，在前一年三月進行的植入手術中，所使用的胚胎與該夫婦並無基因關聯。孩子 Shea 於十二月出生後，原告注意到種族差異，因為孩子呈現非白人的身體特徵。隨後的基因分析證實，該嬰兒為 100% 南亞裔。

Following the initiation of litigation in January, a search for the biological progenitors was conducted, resulting in the identification of the genetic parents, referred to in legal documentation as Patient 004. Despite the biological link, the genetic parents elected not to pursue a custody battle, citing the potential for protracted legal conflict and the perceived best interests of the child. Consequently, a mutually devised agreement was filed on June 12, designating Score and Mills as the permanent custodial parents. This rapprochement allows the biological parents to maintain a presence in the child's life while fostering a relationship of trust with the custodial parents.

在一月啟動訴訟後，相關方尋找生物學上的親生父母，在法律文件中被稱為「Patient 004」。儘管存在生物學關聯，親生父母選擇不爭取撫養權，理由是避免陷入長期的法律衝突，且認為這符合孩子的最佳利益。因此，雙方於六月十二日提交了一份共同擬定的協議，指定 Score 與 Mills 為永久撫養父母。此和解方案允許生物學父母在孩子的生活中維持存在，同時與撫養父母建立信任關係。

Regarding institutional liability, the plaintiffs alleged that laboratory errors were systemic, necessitating genetic testing for all patients whose births resulted from the clinic's services over a five-year period. While IVF Life, Inc. previously stated it was cooperating with investigations to determine the source of the error, the facility has since ceased operations. The biological parents have indicated an intent to seek damages from the clinic and Dr. McNichol for the resulting circumstances.

關於機構責任，原告指控實驗室錯誤屬於系統性，因此要求所有在過去五年內因該診所服務而出生的患者均須接受基因檢測。儘管 IVF Life, Inc. 此前聲明正配合調查以確定錯誤來源，但該機構隨後已停止營運。生物學父母表示擬就此次情況向診所及 McNichol 醫師請求損害賠償。

The child remains in the custody of the birth parents, while the biological parents maintain a supportive role and pursue legal recourse against the medical providers.

孩子仍由撫養父母照顧，而生物學父母則維持支持角色，並向醫療提供者尋求法律追訴。
