Since the couple's community obviously doesn't stigmatize a same sex couple, as the mother and her partner are lesbians, I have a hard time believing that same community would stigmatize a biracial child.

oh quit complaining. Just think of the diverse family you created to satisfy the left.....oh wait, you don't like black people...

On another note, why is it that lesbians are attracted to other women, but their partners look like she-men? Weird.

She's not so much worried about the child as she is about herself. Here's the narcissist quote:

"Jennifer lives each day with fears, anxieties and uncertainty about her future and Payton’s future"

Jennifer worries about things she cannot control and that might not happen and she mentions how it will effect her first, then mention the daughter. This is about what the Mom will go through not the baby.

Then there is the gem:

The lawsuit states that it is because of her upbringing that “Jennifer acknowledges her limited cultural competency relative to African-Americans and steep learning curve, particularly in small, homogenous Uniontown, which she regards as too racially intolerant.

One of the couple’s concerns involves getting Payton’s hair done. It requires Cramblett to travel to a black community where she is “not overtly welcome.”

Oh boy. So much tolerance I can barely keep my unicorn from farting raindropped flavored tear drops.

I see what the problem is now, the Mother's family is just too racist:

Further, Cramblett is concerned about her family, which the lawsuit states is an “all white and unconsciously insensitive family.” The lawsuit goes on to say.

Good grief.

But, this is actually a real funny one. I love-love-love unintended consequences. Awesome.

As someone asked previously in this thread, why now?

IMO, they should have given this child up for adoption soon after birth--and had ALL expenses reimbursed.

My POV is she should love the wonderful child she did get and yes still sue the Sperm Bank for their failure.

Or at least a scathing Yelp review.

She's going to be the semi-black kid with two white parents wondering why everybody else's mommy and daddy actually look like them. She might even question whether either of them is really her parents. So the daughter is also adversely affected by the sperm bank's blunder.

Sure, ideally they just leave it alone and move on. The lawsuit does not mean they're not good parents to that daughter right now or in the future.
The "parents" are a gay couple.

Yep. But that has nothing to do with the fact that the sperm bank was incompetent and FU BIG time.

She's acknowledging her own discomfort brought about by someone else's carelessness, a problem she may have to live with forever. She's also cognizant of the problems she and the child may face. How is anyone else in a position to judge her internal values when the problems resulting from those are ones she sought to avoid?

And you cite the family as being "too racist". Is that in comparison to "just racist enough"?

You last line says it all in stating that you're taking great delight in the problems she's going through.
