A New Jersey couple is suing the hospital where they went for fertility treatments after the white couple gave birth to an Asian baby.
The couple, who are not being named, filed a lawsuit Aug. 28 against the Institute for Reproductive Medicine and Science at St. Barnabas in Livingston, requesting a host of records from the hospital in order to determine the genetic parents of the child.
According to the couple's lawyer, David Mazie, the parents only realized the child wasn't theirs in 2015. Among other information, the couple is seeking documents identifying employees who were working at IRMS on or about Nov. 7, 2012; electronic or physical log books of male clients; the identities of men who provided specimens on or around that date; information on the lab technicians involved; all Asian clients who donated semen specimens around the date; and all women who had their eggs thawed or fertilized in late November 2012.
"The minor Plaintiff is entitled to learn the identity of the actual father ," the lawsuit states, referring to the now-6-year-old child."Among other reasons, the minor Plaintiff has a right to ascertain whether she is vulnerable to any genetic diseases."
