They welcomed a little girl into their family nine months later - but soon suspected that IVF Life - which operates as the Fertility Center of Orlando in Longwood - made a shocking error.

Both Score and Mills are white, but the baby had the 'appearance of a racially non-Caucasian child,' according to the lawsuit against the clinic, per News6.

Several years ago some fertility doctor was spreading his “essence” throughout the community.

They made a movie about that. Really good movie, one shock after another till the very end.

[MayflowerMadam]

I saw that movie when it came out. Wasn’t Melissa Gilbert in it?

[dfwgator]

Some babies grow in a peculiar way.

[Opinionated Blowhard]

I seem to remember a story from probably 10 years ago about a fertility clinic in Florida where the doctor running it was supplying the uh, material, to get the women pregnant. Maybe that happened here.

[Buttons12]

I saw the movie, can’t recall the title.

[Jamestown1630]

I remember that. It seemed to be a kind of ground-breaking episode at the time.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

It changed, it grew, and everybody knew...

(First thing that popped into my head, but you beat me to it.)

[FoxInSocks]

You are NOT the mother!

A Maury special episode.

[ConservativeMind]

I saw this on that documentary, “My Name Is Earl.”

It really happens.

[Bon of Babble]

"Determined to discover the truth, the pair sought out genetic testing. This confirmed that the baby is not biologically theirs."

I'd say they have a point...

And the baby does look like the head of the clinic, a DNA test will sort that out:

Maybe they can sue him for child support.

I saw the pic and thought this must be a BEE article but nope, the Daily Mail. Still I wonder if the editors didn’t darken the child a little more for shock value. I still have suspicions about the validity of this story!

[Jamestown1630]

There’s something very fishy about those pictures.

[UnwashedPeasant]

I’m pretty sure that doctor is Sammy Davis Jr.

This story is cuckoo.

[Georgia Girl 2]

“They soon suspected”

Soon? How about in one second? 😅

[Albion Wilde]

Is it just me, or does the baby look a little bit like the head of the facility?

It's not just you.

[IYAS9YAS]

Is this it?

The Babymaker: The Dr. Cecil Jacobson Story

[MayflowerMadam]

Yes. That’s the one. I was sure Melissa Gilbert was in it.

[MarlonRando]

yeah, unfortunately, the poor kid is going to imprint on his new mother, so I hope they find the true parent quickly. If they can’t find them at all and there’s no way to match the DNA to anybody, then they end up with a baby.

[TexasKamaAina]

The other side of the coin, that I don’t see mentioned in the story, is that somewhere there is a baby they conceived being raised by someone else. Or their baby was discarded.

[Tax-chick]

It’s possible their baby was never conceived at all.
