Carolyn Savage, the 40 year old US woman who was implanted with the wrong embryo in an IVF mix-up has given birth to a baby boy. They had been told about the mix-up in February and said the family was "going through a very difficult time".
As TheBabyWebsite reported last week, the husband and wife have decided to give the baby to his biological parents, Shannon and Paul Morell from Michigan.
The Savages, who already have three children, released a statement offering their "heartfelt congratulations" to the Morells and said they 'would like to thank the medical professionals who provided superior care and treatment throughout the pregnancy and delivery."
Carolyn's husband told her the news of the mix-up in February, after receiving a phone call from the clinic that had implanted the embryo.
CNN quoted Carolyn as saying, "I don't think I've ever cried so much in my life. It was such a nightmare and, in a way, I felt violated". The Savages have refused to name the fertility clinic involved.
