Refer China: Mum seeing post of missing girl identical to daughter,fears that

A mother in China who claimed that a missing girl looked uncannily like her test-tube daughter suspected her stored embryos might have been misused.

On August 13, the mother surnamed Wang, who lives in Shanghai, saw a video online in which a blogger had found a lost little girl at a railway station and was trying to locate her parents.

A concerned friend of Wang's had sent the video to her after noticing the striking resemblance between the girl and Wang's daughter who was born through in vitro fertilisation (IVF).

"My friend asked if I had lost my child. It completely stunned me," Wang told Chinese Business View.

"This little girl really looks like my daughter, even her expressions are the same," she said.

Given that her daughter was born through IVF and additional embryos were stored at the hospital for a potential second child, Wang thought there might have been an error or that her embryos had been misused.

Wang underwent the IVF procedure in May 2018 at a hospital in Shanghai, spending about 70,000 yuan (US$9,800) to 80,000 yuan on procedures, including multiple egg retrieval and embryo implantation.

"When doing IVF, they do not just retrieve one egg. There could have been a mistake where my egg was given to someone else, or perhaps the doctor made an error," Wang said.

"We do not dare accuse the hospital of wrongdoing without evidence, but if there was a violation, we need to address it."

On August 18, the parents of the missing girl clarified online that their daughter, who is now two and a half years old, was born naturally, and they had reported the issue to the police in Shanghai.
