Four months after giving birth, the California families swapped babies to return the children to their rightful parents. But the entire process has been devastating.
On their second try, Daphna Cardinale got pregnant and carried a baby girl to term.
The baby Daphna Cardinale gave birth to, whom she later learned was not her biological daughter after an IVF mix up, had much darker hair than their firstborn.“The fertility clinic transferred to Daphna an embryo that belonged to … strangers,” their lawyer, Alex Wolf, told TODAY. Daphna Cardinale “was, in other words, sort of an unwilling and unknowing surrogate for another couple’s baby.”
At first, Wolf said, the Cardinales met up with the other family who lived nearby almost every day. Eventually though, it was too difficult on everyone and they decided the children should be with their biological parents. “I was losing a baby at the same time that I was getting a baby, “ she said. “So there's grief, and so then your heart starts breaking for their family at the same time. Because at the same time, everyone's gaining a child but everyone's losing a child.”
The Cardinales' oldest daughter begged them for a baby sister for years and immediately bonded with the baby.In the months since, the two families have had to work out “complicated family dynamics,” Wolf said, and typically see each other twice a month.
