The Glendale couple thought that their in vitro fertilization treatment had failed. But Anni and Ashot Manukyan were seized with anguish and horror when they learned that, on the other side of the country, a stranger had been implanted with their embryo then given birth to their baby boy.
On Wednesday, the Manukyans filed a lawsuit against Los Angeles’ CHA Fertility Center alleging negligent infliction of emotional distress and medical malpractice, among other infractions. The couple are seeking punitive and compensatory damages.

Couple says wrong embryos implanted by IVF clinic in "unimaginable mishap"
A recently filed lawsuit claims a New York couple gave birth to other peoples' children, after a fertility clinic impregnated them with the wrong embryos. The couple had been expecting female twins, but instead gave birth to two male babies — who they then had to give up to their biological parents.
The couple alleges CHA Fertility Clinic knew about the embryo mix-up and tried to conceal it. On the clinic's website, it claims to have "fulfilled the dreams of tens of thousands of aspiring parents" in more than 22 countries. This couple says it shattered theirs.

England adoption rates falling as IVF improves, says senior official
A drop in the rate of children being adopted is partly caused by improvements in IVF, the head of the public body representing children in care has said.
The success rates for fertility treatment are now nearly three in 10 (29%) for women under 35, almost three times higher than when the process was first developed in 1978.

Crowdfunding is a popular way to get some much-needed cash, and there's a growing trend of people who are using websites like GoFundMe to help fund their dreams of becoming parents or adding to their families.
Note: If this fails, she'll probably become a foster parent and try to adopt one of your kids.

"Cracked Open" Exposes Heartbreak of Many Counting on Fertility Methods
"Cracked Open" Exposes Heartbreak of Many Counting on Fertility Methods
Miriam Zoll's memoir about trying to get pregnant in near-middle-age, Cracked Open: Liberty, Fertility, and the Pursuit of High-Tech Babies, is more than a personal account of the failed promise of Assisted Reproductive Technologies [ART] for her and her husband. It's also an exposé, lambasting the business of selling dreams to people desperate for biological offspring and a clear-eyed assessment of the high failure rate - 150,000 tries resulted in only 47,090 live births in 2010 - of in vitro fertilization, egg donation and surrogacy for the many women who use them.

Fact-finding hearing investigates whether a couple who had apparently given birth to a child in Nigeria had been aware that it was actually a ‘staged labour’
Fact-finding hearing investigates whether a couple who had apparently given birth to a child in Nigeria had been aware that it was actually a ‘staged labour’
Family Law Week has published an excellent summary of A Local Authority v S & O [2012] EWHC 3764 (Fam). In this case a Nigerian woman living in the UK (Mrs S) went to her GP carrying a baby, O, born according to a birth certificate produced to the GP a month or so before at a maternity clinic in Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The GP was suspicious, having carried out a number of checks in the previous months which had revealed that Mrs S was not pregnant, and although she did not have concerns about the care of the baby, notified the local authority about her concerns about the parentage.

Advanced System-Suckology: Do Woman Go Crazy If They Can't Breed?
You know the desperate to adopt infertile types? This is a serious question. Could infertility be linked with bi-polar disorder, depression, sadness, feelings of failure or hopelessness, lack of self-worth, low self-esteem, or anything else they can take a pill for?
I do come across quite a few articles and blogs about this infertility issue. A wanna be mom can't have a baby so they look into adoption and blog about their "journey". Quite often they explore foster to adopt programs because they are cheap to free and often come with subsidies so there are benefits behind the bullshit. Don't ever leave that factoid out, it may or may not be much, but it is a factor. They don't care about you anyway. They want what they want and that's the kid. Then they fall in love with your kid as foster parents, and aggressively alienate them against you so that they fear and hate you and wanna stay with them.
It's National Infertility Awareness Month–How Much Do You Know?
This is news to me. All the hype I've seen had to do with National Child Abuse Propaganda Month. That's probably a technical keyword factor. But anyway, now it's National Infertility month coinciding with National Grilled Cheese Month! And next month is National Whatever Month too! All of this is superficial to say the least. But it is why the legalities don't matter nearly as much as the the blind and ignorant support of the general public, who are the ones who cry out against that that poor abused kid who they saw on TV, prompting lawmakers to make laws and the child protective industry to take other peoples kids for frivolous reasons, simply in order to cover their asses.
Notice how this all goes together? Why? Why? Notice the buyers (infertiles) and the suppliers (targeted parents) are all honored or dishonored in their own special way at the same time? Is that a coincidence?
And look at the emotional shots... (how they appeal to the suckers for a sob story)
"heartbreaking failed infertility treatments"
"“People are ignorant to what it truly is and think you can just get over it—just like anything else that’s devastating in your life, you can’t,” said Maria Small, who has been battling infertility for more than three years."
I realize it's sad when one realizes that God has made somebody naturally unfit to be parents. No worries though, his authority is overridden these days.

Some people just don't get it.
Okay people...
Remember a couple days ago I posted a link to this blog. http://bringusababy.blogspot.com/, specifically this post where she celebrates the joyous occasion of the mothers rights being terminated to her child and that she should be able to adopt.
Well apparently this blog post of hers pissed a few of you off as several of you have left comments expressing your disgust for her lack of empathy for the real mother and her tendency to believe everything that the nice social worker told her. Whatever. I don't control what any of you do. The point of me linking to such is so that you can understand how they think.
But it has gotten interesting.
First she justifies.
http://bringusababy.blogspot.com/2010/12/some-people-need-to-learn-if-you-dont.html
Here she responds to a comment left by my buddy Bill.
http://bringusababy.blogspot.com/2010/12/some-people-need-to-learn-if-you-dont.html
And now she's gong to put a stop to it all.
http://bringusababy.blogspot.com/2010/12/enough.html
And still she justifies and shows zero empathy for the mother. And yes folks, that is how they think.

Nobel Prize given for test tube baby research
Nobel Prize given for test tube baby research
The Nobel Prize in medicine went to a man whose work led to the first test tube baby, an achievement that helped bring 4 million infants into the world and raised challenging new questions about human reproduction.
Robert Edwards of Britain, now an 85-year-old professor emeritus at the University of Cambridge, lived to see the far-reaching ramifications of his hugely controversial early research.

Michigan's Surrogacy Laws Compared
Michigan's Surrogacy Laws Compared
After years of infertility, Amy Kehoe and her husband decided to construct her own child using reproductive technology. She handpicked a gestational carrier, an egg donor and sperm donor, all the pieces needed for her and her husband to have a baby of their own. During this process, the Kehoe's paid for all the medical procedures because "under Michigan's law, commercial surrogacy is punishable by five years in prison and a $50,000 fine" (Michigan HRC).
