AN ACCIDENTAL SURROGATE When Sean and Carolyn Savage went for fertility treatment they were hoping to add a much wanted fourth child to their family. But a mistake at the IVF clinic left the couple with a nightmare. The wrong embryos had been implanted so Carolyn was told she was carrying another woman's child.
