Nicholas Spirtos, which was intended to fertilize the wife’s egg with the husband’s sperm to help conceive a child.According to a statement released by the attorneys for the family at the law firm Peiffer Wolf Carr Kane Conway & Wise, there was a "clearly stated goal of having a child who was genetically related to both of them." Jeanine became pregnant and gave birth to a baby girl, Jessica Harvey Galloway.But when the couple’s daughter did an Ancestry.com DNA test in 2020 ahead of her trip to Europe, she learned that the father she was raised by was not her biological father. "Leading up to Christmas in 2020, my husband and I were planning a trip to Europe.
How cool – we thought – would it be to learn if we had family in the countries we’d be visiting. Maybe we could connect with our distant relatives.
My parents got us Ancestry.com kits as Christmas gifts, and since then, our lives have never been the same – and never will be," Jessica said.
