An Ohio woman, Carolyn Savage, 40, who was implanted with the wrong embryo, and her husband Sean, have given birth to a “healthy baby boy” and given him up to his biological parents, her family said in a statement.The Savages offered their “heartfelt congratulations” to Paul and Shannon Morell, the the boy’s biological parents. The child was delivered at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo, Ohio on Thursday.
It is unclear how the mix-up occurred, but two months after her pregnancy, the Savages were informed that Carolyn had been given three embryos that belonged to the Morells. Worse, the other three embryos that belonged to the Morells were misplaced, so they had no other chance that the baby that Carolyn Savage carried.
Frequently, in such cases, the pregnancy will be aborted, but in this case, Carolyn Savage fell back on her Catholic upbrining and decided to carry the baby to term, despite the obvious difficulties and discomforts faced with carrying any baby to term.
The Savages already have three children. They resorted to in vitro fertilization after reproductive problems and a series of miscarriages. The Morells had twin girls and now, a new baby boy.
