oh that is the worst case scenario. And a deep deep fear of all undergoing this process. Horrible horrible shit.
There's was a scandal years ago where a staff was using his own sperm instead.
Did they get a refund
think they're about to get a refund with a bonus on top (I assume they're suing monash)
So...who got the baby? Did the biological parents get a sudden surprise?
The child involved in an IVF mix-up at a Brisbane clinic was conceived in early 2023 and would now be a toddler, sources say.
Monash IVF, which operates nationally, discovered the mistake in February, after the birth parents asked to transfer their remaining frozen embryos to another provider.

So by the sound of it, the child was around one year old when they found out.
I can't imagine anyone would want to separate this child from the birth parents who've raised them for a year.
Ahh, yeah, I missed that date. Thanks.
That (approximate) date wasn't mentioned in the article linked in this post, so it was no fault of yours! I'd just happened to have seen the follow-up article. It's certainly important additional info for understanding the situation.
I think it's yet to be decided.
