Quintessential Mum:

I wonder whether they inform the real father. They must have used his sperm without permission. Will he have parental rights? :?

Would they even know whose sperms they used?

wow, if they couldn't even find out whose it is ..... big time law suit coming........so it is possible to frame people la....

They will have some idea for sure. It'll be a very short list.....

finding / disclosing who is the dad wouldn’t make things worse??


imagine the mum seeing the ‘man’ who fathered her child OR the father might want the child OR the father sue TMC ie 2 law suits instead of 1??

The mother would have fainted if she had seen the man whose sperm was used to fertilize her eggs...I know I would.

Considering that a wrong sperm is given to this egg then the correct sperm must have gone to the wrong egg. Sigh .. there might be another couple out there with the same situation.

read in ST today that the mother has bonded with the baby. but the article is silent on the caucasian ‘father’s’ reaction.


really poor thing.

Hopefully the child from this couple (wrong sperm) won’t meet and fall in love with the child (correct sperm)…or else there will be a BIG case.

they should tag the two babies as (1) wrong sperm, & (2) wrong egg ......

really poor thing.

The mother would have bonded given the 9 months pregnancy, but the father would have problems accepting, even though it's his wife's eggs...but not his sperm. As the child grows and looks different from him, it's going to be hard, esp when the child asks why he/she looks different from the father.
