Yup, a quick google returned this story as the top hit
http://archives.cnn.com/2002/HEALTH/12/27/human.cloning/index.html
To answer eth OP, this claim was never "disproved"as far as I am aware, but eth children never materialized-The Raelains never produced any evidence, dispute promising to do so. Until they offer anything other than their word that they have cloned humans, I think it is safe to assume that they haven't.

Ah, the Raelians...even crackpots call them crazy! Yeah, they claimed to have successfully cloned a human, but never produced the goods.
Furthermore, their headquarters in Quebec have recently been put on the market, and they've announced their plans to relocate to Las Vegas. The reason?
Skeptics say it is because their popularity has been declining regularly, and they no longer have the financial means to maintain their sprawling Quebec property. The Raelians say it is because they've already 'saturated' Quebec, and need to move on to fresh grounds where they can find new members.
The Raelians have also been petitioning the U.N. to provide an international embassy for aliens -- designated as the property of the aliens, subject to all the protections associated with a formal embassy -- at which point they say that the aliens whom their founder, Rael, speaks to will finally reveal themselves to the rest of mankind.
Unfortunately for the rest of mankind, that slow-moving and politically corrupt UN mechanism has failed to come through and provide the requested embassy.
