Misconception: One Couple's Journey from Embryo Mix-Up to Miracle Baby

In February of 2009 Shannon and Paul Morell were especially eager to bring a new life into the world. After years of infertility and miscarriages they had in 2006 finally scrimped and saved enough to have in vitro fertilization. The result? Two dear daughters had been born and six precious embryos had been frozen. . They counted the days until they could transfer the six remaining embryos. Until the fateful day of February 17 2009 when the clinic called. “The doctor would like to you to come in today…”. Shannon writes “Face to face with the doctor I noticed that his face was gravely serious. Theres been a terrible incident in our lab he said. Your embryos have been thawed.. A pause as we both exchanged disbelieving looks and he went on..... Your embryos have been transferred into another woman.  . The Morells have a story to tell. A cautionary tale of medical errors unexpected miracles sincere mourning and grateful bonding with their son. Amazingly theirs is also a story of joy-filled thanksgiving . . . a story of life—life that is precious sacred and treasured.
