Sounds like incompetence going on here. That is like buying a Jaguar, and having it delivered, but you get a Corolla instead. No pun intended. Put yourself in her shoe, is she getting what was in her signed contract, she is expecting one thing and getting something else. Sure we can all have our opinions on this matter. Something went terribly wrong, and someone needs to be held accountable. Appears these days, no one is.
She should not be forced to raise a child, she does not have a connection with, this could make for bad parenting.
She did not ask for a biracial child, but white. There are many issues with raising a biracial child. You want to make sure the Parent has a loving relationship with this child, not a child a Mother will resent, what good is that.
Living with fear and anxieties is never good. Said that they both bonded with the child, but deep down, I am not so sure.
I don't see the conundrum. There is no "on the other hand" here. There is no such thing as "so what if she didn't get what she ordered". It's a business contract. Contracts are binding. There's no "so what" about it.
I mean seriously. You walk into a restaurant and order a meal. They bring out a completely different meal. That's "so what if you didn't get what you ordered?" If you order a new car and they deliver a completely different model is that "so what"?
The only thing that makes it a conundrum here is political correctness. Since the baby is half black, you open yourself up to charges of racism if you don't happily accept it. I mean not you personally, just "you" in general.
Clearly the article was slanting in this direction.

For me, the conundrum is personal - given that a contract has been breached, what is the right thing to do about it? Having watched and participated in a few legal proceedings in my time, I have come to the conclusion that just because you have the grounds to sue, doesn't mean that a suit is the best response to the breach.
I don't think political correctness has a thing to do with it. The women say they love their child, and I see no reason to doubt their sincerity. I believe that there have been incidences of sperm banks doing a poor job of screening, so some parent winds up with a child with a disability. In that case, I think it is clearly the right thing to sue, because a disabled child can need a lot of money, and why shouldn't the sperm bank pay for their mistake? In this case, though, I think there are good reasons not to sue. As someone upthread mentioned, how would you explain to the child? Because sooner or later, you know the kid will find out.
I have no definite opinion here. Just musing on the question of whether a lawsuit is the best response to their problem. The story does not say whether the bank is accepting responsibility or offering this couple anything.
This is justification for a lawsuit. Like most left wingers, you left out the fact that she ordered the sperm of a white man and was looking to have a white child.
Well, she might have a case for a lawsuit, but I don't see why she would pursue it. After all, the child is her's. She's virtually neglecting her daughter. Get over it, and be a mother.
You show how simple minded left wingers are.
