Although Tiffany Score and Steven Mills love their daughter, they have previously said they feel “a moral obligation to find her genetic parents”

A dozen or more people have come forward since Tiffany Score and Steven Mills found out there had been a mix-up and their newborn girl was not genetically related to them — and the process of finding her biological parents is already underway, according to the couple’s lawyer.

According to a legal complaint obtained by PEOPLE, the Florida couple turned to the Fertility Center of Orlando, in Longwood, Fla., and Dr. Milton McNichol for help starting a family. Together, the couple produced three viable embryos — but when their baby was born in December, the couple, who are both White, saw the baby didn’t look like either of them.

News of the husband and wife’s lawsuit — and the release of a photo of the two parents with baby Shea—received massive media attention. Now, attorney Jack Scarola, who represents Score and Mills, says, “There are multiple families who believe that they might be genetically related to Shea.”

Scarola says his law office received calls from people questioning whether they might be baby Shea’s parents or wondering if the children they welcomed through IVF are genetically theirs. They were told to contact the clinic and advised that genetic testing is the only way to know for certain.

According to Scarola, the court directed the clinic to first offer free genetic testing to patients who underwent implantation in April 2025 when Score did.

One couple is currently awaiting results, and a lawyer for the clinic told the judge that results should be in by the first week of March, Scarola tells PEOPLE.

The second group for testing ordered by the court will be those who underwent harvesting at the clinic in March 2020, when Score and Mills did. According to Scarola, the second group has around 20 patients.

Score and Mills also have concerns about what happened to their frozen embryos and whether they might have a biological child living in someone else’s family.

Score’s egg extractions and Mills’ sperm produced one viable male and two female embryos, which have been frozen and stored all this time. “Their male embryo may still be out there. They are told there is one embryo in storage — it has not been confirmed yet if it’s really theirs,” Scarola says.

Scarola says the legal progress has been slow, but that a judge has ordered weekly hearings to speed up the process.

Privacy rights have been a sticking point, with lawyers for the doctor and clinic claiming that some IVF patients prefer confidentiality, according to the Sun Sentinel. Lawyers for McNichol and the clinic have not returned messages or declined to comment.

Score and Mills “have bonded with their baby,” their attorney says, and are experiencing the joy of parenting, but, he says that at the same time they’re worrying that Shea’s biological parents can be given custody at any time. “Every day counts for this family,” says Scarola, noting that Shea has already celebrated her 2-month birthday.

Although Score and Wells love their daughter, they have previously said they feel “a moral obligation to find her genetic parents” — and their attorney says they plan to widen the search if needed.

“We are praying for miracles,” says Scarola.

Score’s sister has also set up a GoFundMe for the couple to help cover the costs of their searches and possibly to do IVF again with eggs Tiffany froze at another clinic seven years ago, which was “an option they never anticipated needing.”

The next status hearing is scheduled for March 4.
