Being able to assign any living person as being, yes, you're a biopic, that just can't be done.

You're the company that's supposed to provide me with results. I was pissed.

I was an independent woman, had a lucrative career. I was wild and free and young.

And he just was the most beautiful man I'd ever seen. We both look at each other and it was just like eye contact. And I was just smitten. And I really fell for this guy instantly.

It's when your biological clock starts to tick, you know. I was just excited that I was pregnant. I was happy that I was going to have a baby.

I just really wanted, more than anything, to have my child have their father from day one. It's probably Micah. And I moved forward with Micah as if it were his father.

I just kept having this, what if? I would just never want to do that to somebody. I would never want somebody to catch the wrong baby that's not theirs and go through the whole process. That's why I wanted to get the test.

Lots of infographics, lots of information, very accessible. Just, it seemed as if they were completely legitimate.

And I had called and talked to, I believe it was the owner, Harvey Tenenbaum. How do you get samples from someone you're not ready to tell what's going on?
Sea of Lies from Uncover
S30 E4: Dogged by controversy | Bad Results
I called several times and I literally begged them to give me my results.
Sea of Lies from Uncover
S30 E4: Dogged by controversy | Bad Results
She was so cruel. Every time I called and it was like, lady, I'm pregnant. Can you be nice? Obviously, you deal with these tests and you know the sensitivity of them. But, you know, do you have to be a jerk about it? I'm just trying to figure out my test results.

Micah is inconclusive. And I was like, what does that mean? And she said, well, it's just inconclusive. And so I could send another sample in for Micah if I wanted to. But I asked... Why would I send another sample in if John is positive? She said, some people just want a definitive yes or no.

S30 E4: Dogged by controversy | Bad Results
I just had a sense of, I trust them, they'll give me the right results. And when I get them, then I'll know what to do.

I told him that he was not the father and he didn't believe me. And I vaguely remember sort of a fight about, you know, I told him I got this result from this company. And I think he suggested, well, what about Micah? a second opinion. I said, no, I got the results. And I just believed that Vygard Acumetrix had given me the solid information.

It never crossed my mind that, oh, I'm going to get the wrong, I'm going to get some false positives today.

And so I moved to in with John and he's 23 year old bachelor. And so I cleaned as best I could and I cook. And so I tried to make the best of that.

He was very attentive and he was, he's very loving and he was very excited. He rubbed my belly and he loved, wanted to go to the appointments and he wanted to go to the prenatal classes.

John and I had gone to pre-birthing classes and breathing and ecstatic birth and, you know, all these hippy-dippy sort of things. So I thought I was really prepared for birth today.

Well, it was 28 hours of the worst pain I've ever experienced in my life. I was cursing like a sailor. I just was like, ah, you know.

S30 E4: Dogged by controversy | Bad Results
John caught our baby. And just, I remember this, like, looking at his hands. And it was darkly lit, but it's obvious. You know, it's obvious that when a big black man in his big, beautiful hands catches a white baby... It's pretty obvious. And it was just like, oh no. It broke him. It broke John. And I feel so sad if I ruined his dreams or somehow destroyed him emotionally.

And it's the thing I was trying to avoid. And I tried to... figured that out with Viaguard Acumetrix and the one thing that I didn't want to happen happened anyway.

Called Acumetrix sobbing like what's going on here? There's something wrong. She doesn't look like the baby you told me I was going to have.

I was scared and I wanted to talk to somebody besides the receptionist, the main one. And she told me I had done this to myself. That's what she said. And it's like, yeah, that's true. But fuck you. Excuse my language. Like, you know, how dare you be a company that provides this service and then treat people like garbage, right?

She transferred me to the lab technician named Kyle. And Kyle told me that he had never seen this happen in the two years he'd been working there and said I would be refunded. He would call me back.

I really want to take this to court because I don't want this to ever happen again. I want them held accountable and I want them to be punished and to pay and not necessarily to me, but to pay such a large sum that possibly they go out of business.

The judge came out and said, I'm going to have in chambers discussions with both of you and we'll see what we can figure out.

Well, if you take it to a jury of your peers, they might not look at you as being so upright or So basically saying that because I had slept with multiple people and wasn't sure who the father was, that somehow the jury would see me as not a credible victim. That was kind of the gist of it. They would think you're really slutty and a terrible person. So don't bring it into a jury.

Stephanie still felt vindicated because obviously, I mean, in a settlement, they're not saying that they're guilty, but obviously they were willing to settle with the financial sum that kind of made it that they knew that they had done something wrong.
Sea of Lies from Uncover
S30 E4: Dogged by controversy | Bad Results
I shouldn't have settled. I should have gone for it. I should have just been like, you know what? I will take on all the... the jurors because my story is true and my story should never happen to anyone else.
