Ohio: An Ohio woman who had the wrong embryo implanted by a fertility clinic has given birth to a boy.

Sean and Carolyn Savage said in a statement that the 'healthy baby boy" was delivered Thursday at St. Vincent Mercy Medical Center in Toledo.

No information about the baby or the circumstances surrounding the delivery was released. The Savages said earlier this week the baby was to be born in the next two weeks via cesarean section.

The Savages offered their "heartfelt congratulations" to the baby's biological parents, Paul and Shannon Morell of Michigan. They said their family is going through a very difficult time and requested privacy in the days ahead.

The Savages have said the fertility clinic transferred the wrong frozen embryo to Carolyn's womb in early February.
