Misconception.A stunning story especially for couples having trouble having kids. One Michigan couple learning that their frozen embryos were gone, implanted into another woman by mistake. They were understandably flooded by the news -- or floored by the news, rather. But there's a happy ending after a very rocky road. They do have a new son,and they've got a new book. "American Morning's" John Roberts joins me now for a little AM extra. And John, you actually had a chance to talk with the Morell's, the Michigan couple, right?

Yes. I sat down with them, Paul and Shanna Morell. Imagine if you will, Kyra, you've been seeing a doctor for IVF treatments. They have a couple of twin daughters because of IVF. And the doctor calls you and says, I want you to come in and see me. They go in to see the doctor.

The doctors says, there's been a mistake, your embryos, the frozen embryos they had stored with us have been thawed. All right. So, they thought maybe there was a problem with the electricity. Everyone had lost their embryos. They were very sad about that.

And then the doctor said, and by the way, your embryos were implanted in another woman. So, they went through weeks and weeks and weeks, and, wondering, what is this woman who's pregnant with her child going to do? Will she abort the child? Will she carry it to term and then demand that the child be hers?

It worked out well. They now have their own six, seven-month-old son, Logan. But you can imagine not only what they went through but what the woman went through who was carrying the baby. She thought that she was pregnant with her embryos and at the end had to give up the child. I talked to Shannon and Paul about that aspect. Here's what they say.

Did you ever have a pang of guilt where you ever thinking, oh, my goodness, maybe we should let her keep the baby?

I thought about it, and I felt guilty the whole time. But at the same time, that was my child.

What's your relationship right now with Sean and Carol Savage?

They're friendly.

It's like they're extended family.

Have they seen Logan?

We saw them between Christmas and New Year's when he was three months. We're working on another time when they can see him.

Wow. It's interesting how she answered you, John, when you asked about having a relationship with them, that must be kind of a difficult situation to be in.

I don't know exactly what the dynamic is, but I think she did seem a little defensive when I asked her that question. It may be because the Savages, Carolyn and Sean, the couple that carried the baby to term, recently said that the last seven months have been very, very difficult for them.

They wanted to have a child.

They haven't been able to have a child since.They don't know if they're ever going to able to have that child, but they had very, very strong religious conviction, Kyra, much the same way that the Morells did.

And that's why they decided that they were going to carry the baby to term, but no question. You got to feel for a woman who thinks, wow, this is my baby and then is told, no,there's been a tragic mistake. She had the good grace to give the child up because there are a lot of states across the country, Michigan, New York, where surrogate parents have preponderance of rights. They could have made a case to keep that child.

That's interesting, but also, a decision could have been made to abort that child.

Sure, sure.

Hence, when you were stalking with the couple, they were praying that everybody was sort of on the same Christian values with regard to life.

Yeah, both couples have very strong religious connections. And the one thing that Shannon Morell said was that she wished and she prayed that Carolina Savage was a woman of God

and would not abort the baby realizing that this was their last best chance to have a baby.

John Roberts, appreciate it.[qh]误解。这是一个令人震惊的故事，尤其是对于生儿育女感到麻烦的夫妇而言。一对密歇根夫妇得知他们的冷冻胚胎不翼而飞,由于疏漏而移植给另一个女人。他们不能理解——或者对此而感到震惊。但过了崎岖道路之后迎来坦途，最终他们有一个快乐的结局。他们自己的儿子降生,而且他们也有一本新书问世。早安美国节目的约翰•罗伯茨现在加入我们当中。约翰,你真的曾有幸和密歇根的穆雷夫妇交谈过,对吗?
是的。我与保罗和莎娜•穆雷坐在一起。想象一下,如果你愿意,凯拉,你曾经见过医生进行试管受精手术。因为试管受精他们有几个双胞胎女儿。而医生打电话给你称,我要你来见我。因此他们就去看医生。
医生们说,有一个错误出现，你的胚胎，他们曾经储存的冷冻胚胎已经融化。好吧。因此,他们认为也许是电力问题所致。每个人都失去了他们的胚胎。他们都很伤心。
然后医生说,顺便问一句,你们的胚胎曾经植入到另一个女人身体当中。所以,他们几个星期内一直在考虑,这个怀着她孩子的女人准备做什么?她会放弃这个孩子吗?她会对峙公堂,然后要求将那孩子归属于她吗?
结果很好。他们现在有了自己的第6个,7个月的儿子洛根。但是,你可以想像不仅是他们经历磨难，怀着他们孩子的女人也经历磨难。她认为她怀着她自己的胚胎,但最后不得不放弃孩子。我跟夏侬和保罗谈到关于那方面的问题。这是他们的言辞。
你曾经有一阵内疚,在那时你会真正想,噢,我的天哪,也许我们应该让她拥有这个孩子吗?
我考虑这件事时,我自己一直感到内疚。但同时,那是我的孩子。
现在你和肖恩及卡罗尔•萨维奇的关系如何?
他们很友好。
就像他们是扩展出的家庭。
他们都看见过洛根?
我们在圣诞节到新年看见他们，那时孩子才三个月大。我们正准备另一次见面。
哇。她回答你很有意思,约翰,当你被问及和他们有关系时,那一定是一种困难的局面。
我不知道确切的心态,但我觉得是当我问她问题时她似乎有点自我抵御。这可能是因为萨维奇,卡洛琳和肖恩,这对夫妇一直带着宝宝,可以说过去的七个月对他们来说也肯定是一直非常的困难。
他们也希望有个孩子。
他们一直没有能够拥有一个孩子。他们不知道他们是否能够有那孩子,但是他们有非常强烈的宗教信念,凯拉,和穆雷一家所做的一模一样。
这就是为什么他们决定要带着宝宝,但是没有问题。你必须感受女人所想,哇,这是我的孩子,然后被告知,不是你的孩子,这是一个悲剧性的错误。她已经给孩子树立了很好的榜样,因为有很多州遍布全国,比如密歇根州,纽约等,在那里,代孕父母有优先权利。他们可能借用这个案例。
那很有趣,而且,可能也曾决定将那孩子放弃。
当然,当然。
因此,当你采访这对夫妇的时候,他们祷告,每个人对于生命都有相同的基督教价值观。
是啊,这两对夫妇都有很强烈的宗教联系。穆雷希望的是她祈求卡罗莱纳•萨维奇是女神,并不会放弃这个孩子，因为他们意识到这是有个小孩最后的机会。
约翰•罗伯茨,非常感谢。
