The couple from Florida, who had taken legal action against an assisted reproduction clinic after having a child through IVF who did not have Caucasian features, said they have identified the baby’s biological parents.

“The test results delivered to us today confirm that our baby’s genetic parents have been identified,” said Tiffany Skor and Steven Mills through their lawyer, Jack Scarola.

The couple filed a lawsuit against the IVF clinic last year and, through their lawyer, stated that they will not disclose the names of the child’s parents, emphasizing that they “fully intend to cooperate in respecting their privacy.”

“This closes one chapter in our painful journey, but it creates new issues that must be resolved,” the couple said, according to People. “Additionally, questions regarding the fate of our own embryos remain unanswered and are even less likely to ever be resolved.”

“Only one thing is absolutely certain today, just as it was the day our daughter was born — we will love and be the parents of this child forever,” they added, referring to their four-month-old daughter, Shea.

Scarola stated that “the remaining questions regarding the fate of Tiffany and Steven’s missing embryos are still pending. The current legal process will remain open to address them. However, we now also expect to focus on the need to compensate our clients for the expenses and the serious emotional trauma they have suffered and will continue to endure.”

The couple had turned to a clinic in the Orlando area, in Longwood, Florida, seeking help to start a family. Together, they created and stored three viable embryos.

Last April, Skor was supposed to undergo the implantation of one of those embryos, as she believed at the time — something they say they never questioned throughout the pregnancy. However, on December 11, 2025, when the couple, who are both white, welcomed the baby, they realized the child did not resemble either of them.

The couple said that although they love the child “more than words can express,” they felt a “moral obligation to find her genetic parents,” while also fearing the possibility that the baby might be taken from them and given to the biological parents. Their lawyer stated that the biological parents of Shea have made no such request.

Earlier this month, the clinic announced it would shut down and that a new one would open at the same premises.
