A BRITISH couple abandoned their newborn IVF girl twins at a hospital – because they wanted boys.
The mum aged 59 and dad, 72, conceived in India with fertility treatment and returned to England for the birth.
They told horrified medics they did not want the “wrong sex” babies immediately after the Caesarean section in Wolverhampton.
The husband then asked how soon it would be before his wife was fit enough to fly out again for further IVF in the hope of getting a boy to continue the family name.
An NHS insider told The Sun: “Everyone is utterly appalled. How could any parent do this?
“This is Britain in the 21st century.
“But they just weren’t prepared to raise these two beautiful girls.”
Female babies are often abandoned in India for being the wrong sex – but it is the first time here. It will send shockwaves of revulsion through multi-cultural Britain.
The parents were born in India but are British citizens living in Birmingham.
They had fertility treatment in India as it is illegal here at at such an advanced age.
Advice
The twins were delivered at the New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton.
They were then transferred to a central NHS hospital in Birmingham. The parents are still believed to be in the city.

The babies have had NO visitors since being born less than a fortnight ago.
Today a spokeswoman for New Cross Hospital said: "We can confirm a pair of twins were born at New Cross Hospital.
"They were healthy and well.
"They were born here because the maternity (facility) where the parents were living was busy, so a few days later they were transferred to a Birmingham hospital, where the parents were living."
The mother – one of Britain’s oldest – discharged herself against the advice of doctors who told her she should stay for more than a week after her operation.
A spokesman for Birmingham Council’s social services department said that he could not confirm any details, while a spokeswoman for West Midlands Police said she was not aware of any police involvement in the case.
