“Since then, our lives will never be the same,” Jessica Harvey Galloway told reporters after learning her dad was not actually her biological father.
CLEVELAND — Jessica Harvey Galloway asked her parents for a DNA genealogical test for Christmas in 2020 hoping to finding distant relatives during a planned trip to Italy with her husband.
The test led to a shocking and disturbing discovery, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Akron. It showed her DNA contained none of her father’s Italian heritage. Mike Harvey, the man who helped raised her along with her mother, Jeanine, was not her biological father. Another man’s sperm was used during a fertility procedure.“Since then, our lives will never be the same,” Galloway said during a virtual news conference with the family and their attorneys on Wednesday.The family has sued Dr.
Cleveland-based attorney Ashlie Case Sletvold on Wednesday said that her firm first reached out to Spirtos and the hospital system seven months ago, offering to share medical records and paternity test results but did not receive a response.Galloway, through her own investigation and the help of her attorneys, eventually found the man a DNA test confirmed is her biological father.
“It’s difficult to explain my feelings,” she said. “I still struggle sleeping at night thinking about it. Then I begin to think, whose sperm was forced inside of my body? What kind of health issues could that person possibly be providing to my daughter?” The lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages and an order requiring Spirtos and Summa Health to find Mike Harvey’s genetic material or account for its location.
