An Asian American couple from New York has reached a settlement with a fertility clinic in Southern California after a mix-up resulted in the mother giving birth to twins of a different race.

The couple had undergone in vitro fertilization (IVF) at Cha Fertility Clinic in 2018, but the clinic mistakenly implanted embryos from another family into the mother, leading to the birth of two white boys instead of the expected twin girls. The couple discovered the error during ultrasounds, but the clinic initially dismissed their concerns.


It was only confirmed upon the birth of the boys in March 2019. The couple filed a lawsuit against the clinic, accusing them of medical malpractice and negligence, among other charges.


They also had to give up the newborns to their biological parents. The settlement amount remains undisclosed. Another couple who had a similar experience with the clinic also settled for an undisclosed amount.


生下白人双胞胎的亚洲夫妇与错误的生育诊所达成和解


紐約的一對亞裔美國夫婦與南加州的一家生育診所達成和解,因為一次混亂導致母親生下了不同種族的雙胞胎。


這對夫婦於2018年在Cha生育診所進行體外受精(IVF),但該診所錯誤地將來自另一個家庭的胚胎植入了母親體內,導致生下了兩個白人男孩,而不是預期的雙胞胎女孩。這對夫婦在超聲波檢查中發現了這個錯誤,但診所最初對他們的擔憂不予理會。


直到2019年3月男孩出生後才確認了這個錯誤。這對夫婦對該診所提起了訴訟,指控其醫療事故和疏忽等罪名。


他們還不得不將新生兒交給其生物父母。和解金額未公開。另一對在該診所經歷類似經歷的夫婦也達成了未公開金額的和解。
