Suspected fertility failure: Woman discovers her daughter did not come from the donor she chose

A woman claims that her daughter, born two years ago from an egg donation, does not belong to the donor she selected. She contacted Raphael Care and the Ministry of Health, which is investigating the suspected additional failure in the fertility market.

A woman claims she discovered that her daughter, born two years ago from an egg donation, does not belong to the donor she chose. The couple needed an egg donation several years ago, and after a fertilization process, the baby was born. In recent months, suspicion arose that the baby belongs to a different donor, whom the woman did not know at all. She contacted Raphael Care, one of the largest egg donation companies in Israel, and received various responses beyond the official statement. She then filed a complaint with the Ministry of Health through attorney Galit Karner. Raphael Care responded that the case is known to them, and that treatment was halted when the question was raised in 2026, and the matter is being reviewed with medical authorities. According to them, the Ministry of Health approved continued treatment of existing embryos. The company emphasized that the matching process was conducted according to professional procedures, and the information matches verified records. The suspicion joins a series of previous failures in the fertility market, and the article notes that the market is unregulated and lacks accountability.
