UK-based couple say overseas surrogacy agency made twins using wrong sperm
Summary
A UK-based couple used a Sri Lankan surrogacy agency and later found out through DNA tests that the twins born were not biologically related to the intended father because donor sperm was used by mistake. The couple denied agreeing to use donor sperm and had to apply for adoption to gain legal parentage of the children.Key Facts
- The couple, called PP and QQ in court papers, used a Sri Lankan surrogacy agency named Wish Fertility.

- DNA tests for the twins' UK citizenship showed PP was not the biological father of either child.
- The couple denied signing any form allowing donor sperm use.
- The couple had previously lost twins born after IVF in India due to health problems.
- A judge said the couple were not at fault and wanted to raise the children they love.
