An Ohio woman Jennifer Cramblett and her partner have sued a Chicago-area sperm bank after she became pregnant with sperm donated by a black man instead of a white man as she'd intended.
She was accidentally informed at almost 5 months pregnant from an employee at the sperm bank that she had been inseminated with sperm from the wrong vile No. 330, a black donor, and not No. 380, a white donor she and her lesbian partner had chosen. 😳 According to the lawsuit, her excitement about the pending birth was replaced with "anger, disappointment and fear." "They took a personal choice, a personal decision and took it on themselves to make that choice for us out of pure negligence," Cramblett said.
Cramblett said she and her partner love their 2yr old daughter, Payton, very much and wouldn't change anything about her. But they are concerned about raising her in the predominantly white community where they live.
Cramblett said that as a lesbian she has felt the sting of prejudice but doesn't know what it's like to be mistreated because of her skin color.
The lawsuit says Cramblett also is worried about how Payton will be treated in her "all-white, and often unconsciously insensitive family." 🐸☕️ Therapists have recommended that Cramblett and her family move to a more racially diverse community with good schools, the lawsuit states.
The lawsuit seeks a minimum of $50,000 in damages. 💰 This whole story is INSANE any parent would be upset, not to mention not feeling culturally equipped to properly educate your child on a major component of their heritage and to have the freedom of choice be removed from you in error with no recourse! However we think a wrongful birth lawsuit is also a poor label, can't imagine how the publicity of this whole thing will later affect that beautiful child Payton! It's true that God makes no mistakes but that fertility clinic made a BIG ONE and they should pay! The biggest aha moment is that these white women can recognize the struggles even in 2014 of being Black in America!
