- 0:18Speaker 2: but it is in Georgia. I want to salute all
- 0:19Speaker 2: the women out there going through IVF treatments. We know
- 0:22Speaker 2: what IVF treatments are, right, the fertilization of an egg
- 0:25Speaker 2: by a sperm outside the body. Women get if IVF
- 0:28Speaker 2: for various reasons, infertility, age, genetic concerns. It's a lot
- 0:33Speaker 2: of reasons that women get IVF treatments. President Trump actually
- 0:36Speaker 2: signed an executive order aiming to reduce the cost of
- 0:39Speaker 2: IVF on Tuesday. I believe that's a good thing, right,
- 0:42Speaker 2: But what if you are a woman who is out
- 0:45Speaker 2: there trying to get pregnant through IVF.
- 0:47Speaker 3: You want to have that baby.
- 0:48Speaker 2: Oh the joy you feel two weeks after that embryo
- 0:52Speaker 2: transfer and the doctor gives you a positive result and
- 0:55Speaker 2: tells you that you have had a successful implantation and pregnancy.
- 0:59Speaker 3: Drop on a those bombs for those who have experienced
- 1:01Speaker 3: that level of joy.
- 1:04Speaker 2: But what if you didn't get what you paid for,
- 1:07Speaker 2: meaning you paid to get pregnant, you know, had the baby.
- 1:10Speaker 2: But what if what they put into your cart is
- 1:13Speaker 2: it what you ordered? If we don't find this out
- 1:15Speaker 2: until you receive your groceries. Okay, what are you talking about,
- 1:19Speaker 2: uncle Shaola? Well, what I'm talking about is exactly what
- 1:22Speaker 2: happened to Christina Murray, a resident of Savannah, George A
- 1:25Speaker 2: salute to everyone who listens to us on ninety four
- 1:27Speaker 2: point one to beat in Savannah. Christina was given the
- 1:29Speaker 2: wrong order. Ladies and gentlemen, Let's go to the day.
- 1:32Speaker 2: Let's go to today's show for the report.
- 1:33Speaker 3: Please.
- 1:34Speaker 4: My son's skin tone didn't match mine, but he was
- 1:36Speaker 4: still my son. Stina Murray was finally living her lifelong
- 1:40Speaker 4: dream of being a mother.
- 1:41Speaker 2: He was beautiful and perfect, but it was also very
- 1:45Speaker 2: clear that something was wrong.
- 1:47Speaker 4: After a grueling round of IVF in nine months of pregnancy, Murray,
- 1:51Speaker 4: a white woman using a white sperm donor, gave birth
- 1:55Speaker 4: in late twenty twenty three to a baby boy with
- 1:57Speaker 4: a much darker complexion, sun.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Skin toned did in match mine, but he was still
- 2:02Speaker 2: my son.
- 2:03Speaker 4: What should have been a joyful first few months bonding
- 2:06Speaker 4: with her son, who she loved and wanted to raise,
- 2:09Speaker 4: was punctuated by constant fear and uncertainty. They didn't know
- 2:13Speaker 4: whether it was a sparm mix up or whether he
- 2:16Speaker 4: was someone else's. Murray took a DNA test that confirmed
- 2:19Speaker 4: her baby wasn't hers biologically, the clinic she'd used, Coastal
- 2:24Speaker 4: fertility specialists, eventually determined that they mistakenly implanted another couple's
- 2:29Speaker 4: embryo in Murray. The biological parents sued her for custody,
- 2:34Speaker 4: and Murray chose to give the baby she loved up
- 2:37Speaker 4: to them rather than fight.
- 2:39Speaker 1: And I walked out of the building with an empty
- 2:40Speaker 1: stroller and they.
- 2:42Speaker 2: Left with my son. Hey, she had a black widowed
- 2:46Speaker 2: baby or whatever Rita or was saying on that song
- 2:49Speaker 2: from back in the day. Listen, don't let Donald Trump
- 2:51Speaker 2: hear about this. He's gonna blame it on the EI,
- 2:53Speaker 2: all right. This white woman was trying to conceive a
- 2:55Speaker 2: child and they put the wrong embryo in her and
- 2:58Speaker 2: she ended up having with the lawsuit described is a
- 3:00Speaker 2: dark skinned African American baby.
- 3:04Speaker 3: I bet.
- 3:05Speaker 2: Christina was like, now I understand why I had all
- 3:07Speaker 2: these strange cravings. Cajun collar greens. I never craved Cajun
- 3:12Speaker 2: colin greens before I was pregnant. Oh my god, is
- 3:15Speaker 2: this why I couldn't stay out of Popeyes? I ate
- 3:17Speaker 2: so much sweet potato castle role from Rufe Chris. Oh
- 3:20Speaker 2: my god, there were signs. The smell of black and
- 3:23Speaker 2: mouth smoke never bothered me. Can you imagine you spent
- 3:26Speaker 2: nine months preparing for a little bundle of joy and
- 3:28Speaker 2: instead you give birth to a cultural awakening?
- 3:31Speaker 3: All right? She probably named the baby woke.
- 3:33Speaker 2: Now she gotta go buy books like Brown Baby Nursery
- 3:35Speaker 2: Rhymes and other diverse children stories.
- 3:37Speaker 3: It's just a mess.
- 3:38Speaker 2: And this isn't like getting your order wrong at a
- 3:40Speaker 2: fast food restaurant where they can just, you know, give.
- 3:43Speaker 3: You what you asked for. This is a baby, Okay.
- 3:47Speaker 3: If you don't like it, you can't just give it back.
- 3:49Speaker 2: Imagine coastal fertility clinic like, well, ma'am, I notice isn't
- 3:53Speaker 2: what you ordered, but what's wrong with it?
- 3:55Speaker 3: It works?
- 3:56Speaker 2: She said it hurt to give the baby away because
- 4:00Speaker 2: in light of history, she thought she should be able
- 4:01Speaker 2: to sell it.
- 4:02Speaker 3: Christina, I am sorry you had to go through that.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Okay, you bonded with the baby, and I know the
- 4:07Speaker 2: hardest part wasn't to mix up. It was explaining to
- 4:09Speaker 2: your husband why their baby was born with a full lineup.
- 4:13Speaker 2: Please give the Coastal Fertility Clinic the biggest hull.
- 4:19Speaker 3: That is wild. It's wild.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Now, what about when you have a baby and the
- 4:23Speaker 2: baby comes out looking nothing like you, but.

- 4:40Speaker 1: got the same blood type, so don't play with me.

- 4:53Speaker 3: that baby right on her.

- 5:01Speaker 3: to court? Please take baby baby, my baby.
- 5:05Speaker 2: The only thing that would have made your story better
- 5:07Speaker 2: is if she was actually racist.
- 5:09Speaker 3: I know, right, I know that would be wild. Yo. Damn,
- 5:17Speaker 3: what did she name? The baby because she had to
