Giving her daughter a brother had been quite the ordeal for Anni Manukyan. IVF attempts costing more than $120,000 had been tried and failed. At that moment, a call from the fertility clinic arrived.

Anni received a call from someone asking her to come in for a standard cheek swab.

Anni’s husband, Ashot, had doubts regarding the call. He was right when he believed it was odd that they would call with such a request.

Eventually, it was discovered that a Queens, New York, woman had visited the same reproductive center before giving birth to what were initially believed to be twin boys. She had no idea that one of the boys was truly an embryo that belonged to Anni and Ashot, and the other was not their biological twin.

The mother had had two distinct embryos transplanted into her, one from the Manukyans and the other from a different family! They would not provide Anni and Ashot any further information, even after admitting their error.

Naturally, someone called an attorney. It was discovered that the Queens woman’s baby boy was, in fact, the Manukyans’ biological child.

The mother who gave birth to the boy in Queens had developed a strong attachment with him, treating him as her own, which further complicated matters. In an attempt to keep her two kids together, she wrote to the Manukyans.

She reportedly said, “I kiss his little feet every day,” as reported by the New York Post. “I bathe him,” I say. I gave him breast milk. We are the ones who want to be with him because we are their real parents. We adore them, they are our twins, and they shouldn’t be split up.

The Manukyans and the birth mother met in a highly charged emotional situation before the matter went to court.
