"It was pretty soon after James was born that I knew something wasn't right," says Laura.
She and her partner, Beth, have two children - James, and their eldest Kate - both conceived through IVF treatment at a clinic in Turkish-occupied northern Cyprus.
The two women used their own eggs and carefully chose one anonymous, healthy sperm donor. They told the clinic which ordered the sperm for them that it was important the same donor was used for both babies - so their children would be biologically related.
But when James was born, they both noticed that his "beautiful" brown eyes were very different to those of his biological mum, Beth, and the sperm donor the family had requested. It sparked a flame of doubt in his parents' minds: "Had our clinic made a mistake?"
After nearly a decade of worrying, Beth and Laura decided their children should take a DNA test. The results indicated neither child was related to the sperm donor their parents had selected. What is more, the evidence suggested the children were not even related to each other.

BBC News has spoken to the families of seven children in total who believe the wrong sperm or egg donors were used during IVF treatment. Most of these families have done commercial DNA tests which appear to confirm their fears.
All the cases are linked to clinics in northern Cyprus - a territory where European Union laws do not apply and which is only legally recognised by Turkey.
Northern Cyprus has become one of the most popular destinations for British people seeking fertility treatment abroad, say experts. Clinics are loosely regulated and promise low prices and high success rates.

Idiots.
BOGUS.
Why pay for it when you have your own free supply. This happens even in US clinics.
🤣
on purpose?
that’s outstanding!!!
Incredibly selfish, self absorbed women. Doing long term damage to this poor child. We don’t want to lie to the children, when they live a lie, IVF rot. The fruit of IVF is rotten.
This report must be fraudulent.
/S
They look like sisters.
Don’t commit abominations with the reproductive process, and this sort of thing will not happen.
And, I’m done with my smoothie.
LOL!
And I’ve had that song in my head for days since the time I posted it. Now I’ll be “hearing” it again!
I had a friend who was black, A really smart guy and I miss him.
His Son got his also black girlfriend pregnant, and the baby was a beautiful girl, Snow white with blue eyes, both families freaked out and there was some friction until they got a DNA test done and it turned out that my friends son was in fact the Father.
My friend was super happy at having a granddaughter, but random people kept calling the cops on him thinking that he had abducted the little white girl.
I have heard that these genetic “surprises” occur and witnessed two in my life.
Who’s that kinky so-and-so...
Odds it was some muzzie sperm?
Why, every sperm is sacred. Every sperm is good. Every sperm is needed, in your neighborhood…
Great movie reference.
