In Ohio, mom sues sperm bank for having interracial child

A white Ohio mom is suing a sperm bank for sending her vials from a black donor, saying her biracial 2-year-old will be stigmatized by her family and the "intolerant" town where they live and has to travel to get her hair done.
Jennifer Cramblett thought she was being inseminated with a white man's sperm in 2011 and only discovered after she was pregnant that the Midwest Sperm Bank sent the wrong batch, according to the lawsuit filed in Cook County Circuit Court.
The child, Payton, is now 2 years old and already experiencing prejudice in Uniontown, where 98 percent of the residents are white, court papers say.
quote:
As an example of the difficulties the family faces, the suit cited hair care for the toddler.
"Getting a young daughter's hair cut is not particularly stressful for most mothers, but to Jennifer it is not a routine matter, because Payton has hair typical of an African American girl," the suit says.
"To get a decent cut, Jennifer must travel to a black neighborhood, far from where she lives, where she is obviously different in appearance, and not overtly welcome."

Would you grant her an award for damages?

Well, if she flat out stated that she wanted sperm from a white dude, then she probably had very good reasons for wanting a white kid. I think she has a definite case.

Not sure how anyone could think this suit isn't completely justified.
(If she made this clear to the sperm bank and they made it clear that they wouldn't provide her sperm from a black man.)
If those two things happened, this is open and shut.

How much do sperm banks pay for semen?

If it's in the contract, hell yes.

Plot twist... They actually sent the right batch, but the delivery guy had a BBC and she couldn't control herself...

She has a case. Hope she wins.

She (the mother) must be terribly ugly. Why not do it the old fashioned way?

My niece has to go to Atlanta to get her hair done. Apparently, it's a big deal to work with the biracial hair. No one in Bham can do it right (black or white).

frickin A she should get damages. Not because the semen is from a black man. But because its breach of contract. She wanted a child of the same race.
And I am sorry to say this is the same shite interracial children get all over the world. Not right, but thats the facts.

If she requested a white male's sperm, you bet your arse they'll be paying for it.

If she stated she wanted a white kid, well then yes.
