NEW YORK — After they saw a baby girl they had gone to a fertility clinic to conceive, her parents became convinced something was wrong, according to court papers.
The girl’s skin was darker than either parent’s, a judge wrote in allowing the parents to proceed with a lawsuit that claims the clinic botched the insemination of the wife’s eggs. The ruling was made public Wednesday.
“While we love Baby Jessica as our own, we are reminded of this terrible mistake each and every time we look at her; it is simply impossible to ignore,†state Supreme Court Justice Sheila Abdus-Salaam’s decision quoted parents Thomas and Nancy Andrews as saying.
The couple, of Commack, N.Y., sued New York Medical Services for Reproductive Medicine, accusing the Manhattan clinic of medical malpractice and other offenses.
The Andrewses’ court papers say that on the advice of Dr. Martin Keltz, the couple agreed to in vitro fertilization of the eggs with Thomas Andrews’ sperm so they could have a child who was biologically their own. However, their court papers say, the clinic was negligent and used another man’s sperm.
