Little Logan Morell with his mother and father, but, Shannon Morell didn't give birth to him. Another mom did after there was an embryo mix up at the fertility clinic.Carolyn Savage, an Ohio woman, decided she didn't want to terminate or raise the baby, so she had him and gave him back to his biological parents. The mix up happened because her last name is the same as Shannon Morell's maiden name. The Morell's have written a book about the experience..and I assume everyone has sued the clinic's idiot pants off. You can read more HERE.

Holy crap! How often does this sort of thing happen? Can you imagine that other mom who wanted another child only to have to go through the whole ordeal and then hand the baby over to strangers? My mouth was just hanging open with shock. How can such a thing happen? WTF, doesn't anyone at the clinic know how to read and check files?? I can't wait until this is a TV movie of the week..and you know it will be.

What a shame. Must of been horrible to give up your child. Because it wasn't yours in the first place.
i remember reading about this when it first happened...the women who had the child said that it was the right thing to do---to give it to the biological parents.....she has a book coming out next year....
Man, I'd like to read both the books. I can't even imagine something like that.
So they've had their 15 minutes. They've already settled with the clinic. I don't get the need for a book that will haunt that poor child for the rest of life. And for sure Lifetime will be all over this.
TLC probably is calling them for a show!
Here is the story of the "Black and White twins" There is a reason why they sterilize medical equipment in between IVF's.

I have met them and even have a photo with them somewhere around here. Dateline NBC brought them to Twinsdays in Ohio one year. There was a bit of a "kufuffle" over if they are "real twins" but they were born of the same mother and of the same pregnancy, that is the definition of twins isn't it.
P.S. I find that many fraternal twins find themselves "not as important" as identical twins, but attending a twins convention makes them realize that all twins are special.
It's really scarey all things that can and do happen. When there was the possibility of having to remove my husbands foot--it wasn't responding to treatment and wa gangreened--we had decided that we were going to write all over the good foot with a marker. DO NOT CUT OFF THIS FOOT!!! Just in case.
The foot was saved with Vancomycin, but I still say this led to the dementia he was later diagnosed with. (Or at least speeded up.)
I hope the women who carried the baby was finally able to have her own. That must have been a truly bitter/sweet nine months. Did she know all the way through that it was not hers?
It's shocking but still not as weird as your daily life in Guntown.
There was something like that on the show private practice. They mixed the women up, and each carried eachothers babies.
