The Fertility Center of Orlando is shutting down several months after a couple sued it following the birth of a baby who isn't genetically related to them.

A Florida fertility center is closing several months after a patient alleged the clinic implanted another couple’s embryo in her — a discovery she made after giving birth.

The Fertility Center of Orlando announced its closure on its website, saying the decision was made “after thoughtful consideration.” It was not immediately clear when operations would cease.

Records show the beleaguered Longwood, Florida, clinic has been beset by legal and financial problems. In January, a couple who had gone through in vitro fertilization there, Tiffany Score and Steven Mills, sued the clinic and its head reproductive endocrinologist after testing revealed that a baby girl Score gave birth to in December 2025 was not their biological child.
