“The fertility clinic transferred to Daphna an embryo that belonged to … strangers”

“The fertility clinic transferred to Daphna an embryo that belonged to … strangers,” their lawyer, Alex Wolf, told TODAY. Daphna Cardinale “was, in other words, sort of an unwilling and unknowing surrogate for another couple’s baby.”

Immediately, the couple started to wonder what had happened to their embryo. As it turned out, Wolf said, another couple had carried their biological child to term.

“They had effectively done a child swap,” Wolf said of the clinic.

The other family sent the Cardinales a photo of the baby they’d given birth to — who has light skin and blond hair.
