>> the poster child for the ultimate donor conceived success story. >> until we found out other wise. >> genetic tests reveal all. >> this is the moment she starts to realize something is really wrong. >> who? who are you talking a a >> some how, she was conceived not from the sperm of a donor that margot had selected but the sperm of her own trusted fertility doctor. >> i was just in shock. i couldn't believe it. >> when you saw the photo holding you at birth -- >> i looks like he is holding me like a prize. >> like he knows something that no one else knows. >> what will the doctor's explanation possibly be? >> my name's eve wiley. i live in dallas, texas, and

when i tell people my story, their jaws hit the floor. >> so when i first heard about eve wiley, my jaw dropped too. as an investigative reporter, i was immediately intrigued by how could this have even happened? and so we went right away to texas to start unraveling eve's story. >> center, texas. it is kind of in the middle of nowhere. it's ten miles from the louisiana border. it is very much friday night lights. it is the most friendly town with the best people. david, hi! >> how are you? it's so good to see you. >> what are you doing in center? >> i'm just back home. >> in the little neighborhood we were in, everyone took care of everyone's children.

for many years we didn't even lock doors. you couldn't find a better place to raise your children. i brought 'em home from the hospital to this house. >> there was a ton of woods back there, and we would build forts. we weren't allowed to be home unless it was almost dark. get outside and play. >> so what kind of child was eve? >> if you ask my mom, i was swinging from the chandeliers. >> she was just swinging from the ceilings. little fireball. energetic we did dance and ballet and softball. she d eedi could with a

happy gene, she was born with it, because she was just always happy and optimistic about everything. >> so many memories at this court. >> i know you played a lot of tennis here. >> she was my number one girl her freshman, sophomore, junior, senior year. she just had the tenacity and want to be as good as she can be. >> they have your dad's sign. doug andrews tennis. he was a teacher and he coached tennis. >> he was just a really good dad, a really involved dad. >> she wants that bottle. she sees it. >> he was sick for about a year and a half. he had cardiomyopathy. it was a terrible thing. >> because my dad was so sick early on and he passed away when

i was 7, i don't really have a lot of strong memories of him that aren't from home videos or pictures or just stories that my mom has told me. you know, father's day and when you had bring your dad to school and things like that, you know, i think it's always hard to lose a parent. >> he passed away and then we still -- life goes on. we had to get up, and i had these children to take care of. and we were living life, just kind of one day at a time. >> my mom was a school nurse at the high school. >> my kids could get away with nothing because of that. i knew everything that was going on. if i didn't, somebody would tell me.

>> and how everyone kind of communicated was through emails, and i could get on her email, like i've done many times before and find out things about my cohorts and get all the juicy gossip. >> you're a little rebel. >> always in the know. >> she's always looking for something. she's a real prankster. >> and then the precocious eve gets on her mom's computer one day. tell me what you found. >> i saw all of these emails about artificial insemination, after the 10th or 11th one i clicked on it. and when i clicked on that one, i scrolled down to the bottom and it said "i'm just gathering information for my daughter. she was born july 28 of 1987." and that's my birthday. >> what was your reaction? >> what the [ bleep ]? >> honestly, i probably thought i would never tell her. but after eve's father died, it began to really weigh heavy on me. >> so you realized that you were born by some person you didn't even know.

>> or that my mom knew or that my dad knew. >> and here you are, with this secret. when did you decide to confront your mom? >> i walked in the next morning when she was getting ready. >> i'm taking a shower and she comes in she says, "mom, is there something you need to tell me?" and i knew she knew. i don't know what it was about the way she said that, but i knew she knew. >> and i told her, "i know doug's not my dad," and she just started bawling. >> i was just overcome with emotion. and i said, "yes, it's true." >> it's hard to imagine what it's like to come to the realization that something you thought you knew about yourself, namely where you came from, is untrue. and that truth will take eve from shock to heartbreak to fury. with our almond trees in our

>> when couples have fertility issues, very often they turn to artificial insemination, using medical science to get pregnant in a doctor's office instead of the old-fashioned way. it's a topic that i'm very familiar with too because it's how my husband, and i conceived our twins and then i went on to write a book about it to help others through the process as well. now back in the 1980s, when margo was undergoing artificial insemination treatments using a sperm donor, it was common practice for patients to be cautioned by their doctors about telling a child they were not biologically related to a parent.

>> he said, "do not ever tell her." and i think that was the consensus back then, was to not ever say anything. >> and i was like "it's okay mom, i'm not mad. i understand"" i wasn't angry. i think it was one of those things where just everything kind of made sense at that point because my sister and i look absolutely nothing alike. >> i'd been married for about a year, and we had not had any success. so i decided that i'd seek out medical attention and help. >> dr. mcmorries was very well known in the area. he is an ob/gyn and he does work in infertility issues. after he began to investigate he found out that doug's sperm was it was very poor, lohew qualy.ue artifial ins

repor doug'snial hesitation, but says he then did come around and became very supportive of the process. >> he had to come sign papers to agree to it also, and he did. >> first they try with doug's sperm and fail and then they try mixing doug's sperm with a donor from a sperm bank and still no luck. but margo wasn't giving up and she is determined to go back to the sperm bank for another donor. >> it's like you're making such an important, biggest decision of your life, and you have so little information. >> nowadays you have so much more information available to you when you're selecting a sperm donor. you get full testimonials from donors now. >> i wanted to become a donor because i want to help families. >> including detailed profiles, childhood photos, you can even find out what their iq is.

but back in the '80s the information on prospective sperm donors was basically a small handful of facts. >> there was one little sheet, and i took it home and i studied it, and it had probably about 40 different donors on it. it had their eye color, their hair color, what their interests were and their blood type. that's all i knew. and that's when i chose donor number 106. he was interested in politics and film. and that's so alien to me, i thought, "he's the one." that list of donors, i took it home, and i put it in my jewelry box for 16 years. and after her dad died, no one knew but me and dr. mcmorries. >> once she had selected donor 106, margo had to prepare for the actual insemination itself. it's a process that is extremely you're being impregnated with

the sperm of an absolute stranger. >> you are awake the whole time. it's just like doing a pelvic exam. you know, you're up in the stirrups. you insert the speculum. >> they tried and failed five times with donor 106, before finally the sixth time was the charm. >> you don't forget that day because that's the day you got pregnant. and it is a monumental thing in your life, because i wanted a baby so badly, and that was the one that took. i was just ecstatic. >> and so was doug. fast forward nine months, and their dreams have finally come true. baby eve is born. thereven a ptof r birth, and there's dr. mcmorries, margo's fertility doctor and ob/gyn holding eve moments after delivering her.

it's clearly triumph for everyone. at what point did you decide, "i wanna find him"? >> immediately. that lingering question of who your biological father is, it's this constant question, the strangers passing by on the street, every person that you meet. there's this mystery out there of half of who i am. >> the first phone call was tracking me down to make sure that i am steve scholl who was the sperm donor at the cryobank two weeks later they reach out and say "one of your genetic offspring wants to reach out to you and send you a letter." i was dumbstruck. i was like "whoa!" you know, crazy. i was a hippie. my hair was down to here, and i was on the road, traveling around the world. and i came back from that experience, and i moved to los angeles, but i was only working part time. so i'm coming back from lunch

one day and i see a flier to be a sperm donor, and it pays well. so i did it for the money. >> it's around $75 a donation. and so it's not going to put you through college, but it does provide sort of pocket money. >> well, god, i hate to brag but they really liked my sperm. i had good swimmers, and so they asked me to come back as often as i possibly could. and so for about almost 8 months to a year, i was a donor. probably three times a month. when i got married, which was a couple years after i had ended my donor days, my fiancee was like, "you did what?" and she said, "this is gonna come back and haunt you." e like, you can barely take care of a plant so you're probably not ready to get pregnant now. you can prevent pregnancy for up to five years with mirena or kyleena, low maintenance iuds. your doctor can place an iud in just a few minutes and remove it at any time. filling prescriptions could take longer.

that this was my daughter. >> it was such a relief for me. i was just so happy that he was the person he was. >> the poster child for the ultimate donor conceived success story. >> briefly. until we found out other wise. >> then dna testing was becoming very popular. >> very popular. >> my name is megan and i met my birth mom for the first time today. >> ancestry dna can reveal your true irish roots even if you never knew they were there. >> these are ways to scratch that itch of who we are and where we come from. >> i started thinking that, "hey, i could do this and maybe find some siblings." >> remember steve had made a number of sperm donations, and the sperm bank had told him his sperm had good motility, so chances are high eve has some half siblings. >> i got the kit, i spit in the tube, and then i sent it off

and i waited. >> and sure enough, eve starts getting genetic matches back. >> i connected with two half-siblings. >> i get a call, "dad, i think i found more of your kids." and we were just kind of giddy about it. >> so steve hadn't done the dna testing yet. >> no, he still had not done it. >> so then i immediately got a kit, did the test. >> and then we waited. >> but in the meantime, eve is tracing her genetic tree online and noticing something isn't right. >> she came to me, she said, "mother, there's something wrong with the things i'm seeing, these people that are popping up in my dna." >> strangely, instead of connecting her with relatives of steve on the west coast, eve's dnmas cg back totes,mewhere neither steve nor family lived. >> i got an email from ancestry.com that said i had a

new close family match. >> i do remember her saying, that she had family in texas and family in east texas. >> she's already got a match for one biological cousin, and then eve also matches with another biological cousin, who also lives in texas, and they start talking back and forth. >> i said, "okay, well, you know what? let's just pretend like we're first cousins and tell me about your uncles." and he said, "i have one uncle. he lives in nacogdoches, texas"" >> we have the alligator appetizer. >> we're about 90 miles from the louisiana border. so we're deep east texas. we call the pine trees our skyscrapers. >> have you ever been to nacogdoches? >> nacodoches? no. >> strange. >> i'm told that john wayne film actually put nacogdoches on the map. but here's the thing,

nacogdoches also happens to be the same town that eve's mother margo was going to for her fertility treatments in order to conceive eve. >> he was the go to doctor. >> margo is adamant that she told her fertility doctor that she did not want a local sperm donor, so why does her genetic tree lead back to nacodoches? >> i was so sure steve was my biological father. i had concrete evidence from my mom's medical records, to the cryobank, to my relationship with steve. >> but eve's genetic tree is too clear to dismiss, and this is the moment when she starts to realize something is really wrong. >> she called, and she was in tears. and she said, "i don't know how to say this, except to say this. i don't think you're my dad." >> it was so hard for 15 or 20 minutes, just listening to him cry. and then he got his test results back a few weeks later.

>> one daughter appeared, but not eve. it was something we had lived with so easily for over a decade. it was more like just shock, and how could this happen? >> so then the mystery becomes, if steve isn't eve's biological father, who is? and that takes eve and margo back to nacogdoches, in search of answers from the fertility doctor. >> he was that doctor who everybody respected, and absolutely trusted him. >> and here's the part where you might think of the saying "be careful what you wish for." because some family secrets might be best left buried. st ip. and the iphone xr, with a retina display that makes everything look incredible. it's like the perfect couple-you know, the ones who look great in every picture. like the ones who always make me feel like a before photo. zoey and chris.

>> we go to colorado every

summer. with my husband working so much, it's really the only time that we have together where we can just be a family. >> but this was now the summer of 2018, and during this vacation, eve is spending an unusual amount of time indoors on her computer. she's analyzing her new dna matches, and corresponding with one of them, a biological first cousin. >> she was like, "i have family in texas, the mcmorrises and the mcmorries." and i was like, "oh, my mom's gynecologist was a mcmorries," and we just kind of laughed. we were like, "oh, small world, ha, ha, ha." >> and then eve matches with another biological first cousin on 23andme and starts asking him about his family. >> and he said, "i have one uncle.

he lives in nacogdoches, texas, and his name is kim mcmorries." >> and i asked him again, "who? who are you talking about?" and i said, "oh, [ bleep ], that is my mom's fertility doctor." i think at that point it was -- i was just in shock. i was in shock. >> so at what point did you sit back and say, "oh, my god, my biological father is my mom's fertility doctor?" >> honestly, it was the moment that that first cousin said his name. it just made sense at that point. >> this is where "20/20" comes in. a friend of eve's contacted abc news about this incredible story, and one of the first

things we wanted to drill down on was, are eve's conclusions accurate? so we brought in genetic genealogist and abc news consultant cece moore, who has a long history with "20/20." >> and the dna detective who finally broke the case! >> in eve's case she was lucky. a lot of cousins and distant cousins of dr. mcmorries had taken dna tests. and so we had a lot of people that we were able to compare against. >> i built out the doctor's family tree out to his great-great-great grandparents. because i wanna see is eve carrying the dna of her mother's doctor's ancestors, and there were plenty of them. >> there were dozens and dozens of dna matches, both near and more distant that connected to his ancestors. so in eve's case i could see that she was carrying dna from all of the recent ancestral lines of dr. mcmorries' family, meaning all of his

great-grandparents, all of his grandparents. and so that gives me a lot of confidence that we've identified the correct biological father. >> you reached the correct conclusion. >> part of me kind of wanted it to be wrong. >> it's like bad science fiction. >> this kind of situation seems to be the stuff of lifetime movies and b hollywood plots. >> it's alleged that dr. jacobson may also have used his own sperm. >> some of them really deal with the novelty of it. >> aww, look at you, david. i remember the day you were conceived. >> with the saturday night live skit, you get at the ridiculousness of this, and almost, like, the preposterous nature. how dare a doctor do this? >> aww, well you're the best kids a fertility doctor could ever trick his patients into

having! >> dr. donald cline is the alleged fertility frankenstin. >> when i stared working on this case we had 23, doctor-conceived children, and now we're up to 55. >> i've seen well over a dozen of these cases. >> cases like this are cropping up all over the country at this point. a lot of people have compared the fertility industry to the wild west. there's very, very little criminal activity towards holding these people accountable and the question is, are these physicians playing god? >> it's going to be more likely that this sort of god complex is going to be more concentrated in specific areas, like fertility medicine. because they are actually able to give life to somebody else. >> what was it like to tell your mom? >> having to tell steve and having to tell my mom, those were the two most difficult conversations i have ever had in my life. >> i was just in shock. i was shaking. i couldn't believe it. i really trusted him.

>> now when you see that photo of kim mcmorries holding you at birth, what are you thinking? >> it looks like he's holding me like a prize. you can see him smiling through his mask with his eyes, and he's holding me up. >> like he knows something nobody else knows? >> it's his little secret. >> so at this point, margo and eve are still holding out hope that this might all be some big mistake. maybe it was somehow one big mix-up or maybe even an accident. >> dr. mcmorries is the only person who has the truth and the answers. >> so eve realizes she has to confront the doctor and decides to write him a letter. >> dr. kim mcmorries. through genetic testiclyelated

was a mix-up. >> what? >> you are the biological father of 533 children. >> what? >> just like in the vince vaughn comedy "delivery man," pop culture often treats sperm donation like a joke. but the people going through artificial insemination and the children that result from them, they will tell you that the reality is actually pretty emotional and raw. >> i desperately wanted to try and figure out how i was wrong and how this couldn't be right. >> there are some agonizing days that go by while eve's waiting to hear back from dr. mcmorries. and so she spends hours online, trying to learn all she can about him, looking for any clues. is dr. mcmorries conservative values with personal health. >> dr. mcmorries is still practicing today. and his website highlighting a

family-run practice he now shares with his son. and their facebook page showcases numerous glowing patient reviews, even a recent local newspaper nomination as the best ob-gyns in the area. we are there and she gets word that a letter from dr. mcmorris is coming. >> good afternoon. i have a certified letter for

you. >> thank you so much. >> dear mrs. miley, i have searched through records to find some answers to your questions. they were not gets pregnant as they hoped. and it showed she had six failed and five used sperm from donor 106 and still no pregnancy. and he says the thinking of the time, combining two donor samples might do better. he goes on to tell eve after the initial inseminations did not result, he discussed adding

local donor sperm to the mix. >> i knew that he did use local donors and we were concerned about half siblings meeting and developing a romantic relationship. but the doctor insists that margo was on board as he is eve continued to correspond. >> we talked about that 106 not working. and we talked about using with it another sample. i thought she understood this. >> here is what she didn't discuss with margo. the other spempl sample he mixeded with donor 106 was his own. >> my characteristics were closest to 106. >> he said he went back and

retrieved his own sperm samples from when he was a donor prior. >> i can't imagine a doctor saying we're going to mix donor sperm and i'm going to use any own. >> there is a series conflict here being a sperm done intera treating physician. >> if a doctor wanted to be a parent, he would have to have a deep and thorough conversation and the patient gave consent. >> she says that conversation never took place. >> absolutely not. that just didn't happen. >> so we obviously had plenty of our own questions for mr. mcmo mcmo mcmorries and we requested an interview. he declined. he said he had good reason.

he said donor agree emts prevent it. >> i don't see how you can legal protection that requires to you remain anonymous and violating in a standard where you tell the patient a truth. >> so he didn't give an on camera interview. he gave us written responses to the questions and again insisted that margo consented tosi a locaspdd ere is n l disclosure of donor identity even if the donor is her physician. is it ethical? >> absolutely not. i can't imagine a circumstance where it's acceptable. >> that raises another question. did he use his own sperm to

inseminate any other patients and how many half siblings could eve have out there? the doctor says he knows off one to two other women who became pregnant after he mixed in his own sperm. >> i don't feel like he is understanding the seriousness of this. >> i had no idea 33 years ago the importance of an offspring's desire to know their die logical identity. at that time, the supposed to be permanent. >> he offers this apology. >> i am sorry for group i >> dr. mcmorries lawyer told us quote "dr. mcmorries is a good and fine man who is an excellent, well respected ob/gyn. he has a reputation for trying to help his patients as much as

he possibly can." eve's not satisfied, launching a crusade to make it a crime for doctors to use their own sperm without consent. >> i wanted to write the rest of this story. >> and as for steve? finally some good news is on its way. >> i think i got two more kids! rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis. when considering another treatment, ask about xeljanz xr, a once-daily pill for adults with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis or active psoriatic arthritis for whom methotrexate did not work well enough. it can reduce pain, swelling,
