Mom, 59 and Dad, 72 Abandon Newborns After Birth of ‘Wrong Sex’ Twins

A 59-year-old mother and 72-year-old father abandoned their newborn twin girls at a British hospital, claiming they wanted boys to carry on the family name.

 

The British couple, who conceived in India by in vitro fertilization, told hospital workers they did not want the “wrong sex” babies shortly after their birth.

 

The 59-year-old mother became one of Britain’s oldest to give birth when her twin girls were delivered via Caesarean section at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhamtpon, England.

 

The 72-year-old father reportedly asked how quickly they could attempt another in vitro fertilization in the hopes of getting a boy.
