A white couple who had an Asian baby are suing a fertility clinic after a DNA test proved the dad was not the child's biological father, a lawsuit claims.
Kristina Koedderich and Drew Wasilewski, who went through IVF, claim they noticed years after their daughter was born that she had "Asian features".
According to a lawsuit, a subsequent DNA test in 2015 confirmed there was "0% probability" that Drew, 49, was the father of the child.
The court documents also say the New Jersey parents discovered their child had a blood disorder associated with Southeast Asian heritage, reports MSN news .
The pair, who are now divorced, spent $500,000 (£405,000) on treatment at the Reproductive Medicine and Science at Saint Barnabas in 2012.
The couple claim the clinic's alleged negligence caused "the breakdown" of their marriage, reports the New York Post .
Last month Superior Court Judge Keith Lynott ordered the clinic to hand over a list of men who donated sperm at the time they used the facility.
The parents want to find out about the six-year-old's genetic history in case she wants a relationship with her biological father when older.
Ms Koedderich said in her deposition her ex-husband cried when he learnt the news, reports NJ.com.
She said: "I was crying. And I called [IRMS] the next day and asked how — could this be possible? Could this really be possible?"
They are also seeking to know if Drew's sperm was mistakenly used in another treatment.
They are seeking unspecified damages.
A spokesperson for Saint Barnabas Medical Center said to The Patch they don’t comment on litigation matters.
