\n\t\t\t\t\t\tCentral Florida couple Tiffany Score and Steven Mills announced that testing has confirmed the identity of their baby\u2019s genetic parents, marking a significant development in their journey. >>Score and Mills have issued the following statement and have no further comment at this time:The results of testing delivered to us today confirm that our baby\u2019s genetic parents have been identified. Their identity remains confidential, and we fully intend to cooperate in respecting their privacy.This ends one chapter in our heartbreaking journey, but it raises new issues that will have to be resolved. In addition, questions about the disposition of our own embryos are still unanswered and are even more unlikely to ever be answered.Only one thing is as absolutely certain today as it was on the day our daughter was born- we will love and will be this child\u2019s parents forever. According to the complaint filed in Palm Beach County Circuit Court in January, the couple used their own egg and sperm to create three viable embryos at the clinic. A procedure handled by the Fertility Center of Orlando in Longwood. Born in December, the baby girl displayed physical characteristics of a child who was not racially Caucasian. Despite Score and Mills both being Caucasian. Genetic testing subsequently confirmed that Baby Doe has “no genetic relationship to either of the Plaintiffs,” indicating the implanted embryo was not one of the couple\u2019s.While the couple expressed a deep emotional bond with the child they carried and delivered, the lawsuit states their belief that their baby “should legally and morally be united with her genetic parents.”\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
