This story seems terribly sad to me, poor woman:-
A pregnant American woman, Carolyn Savage, will be forced to give up her baby after an IVF blunder meant she was mistakenly implanted with another couple’s embryo.
The 40 year-old, who is 35 weeks pregnant, and her husband Sean, will have to give up the baby boy to his biological parents when he is born in about a fortnight.
The religious couple have decided not to terminate the pregnancy but return it to the boy’s parents, who have not been named.
The mother of three, from US city Sylvania, in Ohio, described her anguish after being told the baby she was carrying was not actually hers.
“The hardest part is going to be the delivery,” Mrs Savage, told the US Television network NBC’s Today programme.
“I remember communicating with the mother of this child as to what I was envisioning and hoping for. I said, ‘We want a moment to say hello, and goodbye’.
