DETROIT -- An Ohio woman who was implanted with the wrong embryo says she hopes to visit soon with the baby boy she delivered and turned over to his biological parents.
Carolyn Savage of the Toledo suburb of Sylvania told NBC's "Today" show Wednesday that she has been waiting for her family to finish a run of colds. She said she hopes in a couple weeks she'll be able to see the child for the first time since the hospital.
On Sept. 24, Savage gave birth to the 5 pound, 3 ounce biological son of Paul and Shannon Morell of the Detroit suburb of Troy, Mich. The families said a fertility clinic outside Ohio made a mix-up with frozen embryos in February.
Savage had a complicated delivery and bled heavily. She says she wants another child but will use a surrogate.
On the Today Show, Sean Savage spoke for the first time about those moments when he and his wife gave the baby boy to his biological parents.
"During that very short walk it was exceptionally emotional. I was crying but at the same time there was a sense of pride of what we were doing and what we were doing was right," Savage said.
He speculated about what might happen when they see the baby again.
"We're taking it one step at a time and we'll see him at a time that I think is right and we'll see how that experience is when that happens," Savage said.
