Giving someone the wrong sperm is a pretty big error, big enough to usually warrant a lawsuit. Except that this is a child. Anyone who doesn't think she's going to be hurt when she learns about it, doesn't remember being a child themsleves. Suck it up, love your kid, and when they ask questions say, it was a happy accident because we got you! Otherwise, she'll be on c-d in 20 years, posting exhibit 1 that her parents hate her so much. They sued the sperm bank that created her!

Exactly, heterosexual people (those racist aholes) have to roll the dice with their partner's DNA and live with those results. People using sperm donors can order up a designer kid a-la carte and get the features they want. White, and what ever other options these ladies wanted on their toy...I mean human being. So, yes the company messed up and is probably liable. But at least we know how racist everyone that these ladies know are, thanks to them telling us in the lawsuit. Plus black people in hair salons are not very welcoming to half breeds and their white parents either.

Maybe when you order sperm you shouldn't do it the same way as ordering a pizza. If it's important to you then check and recheck your order. Sausage no Anchovies check. 380 NOT 330 check. If you don't know what the number means - CHECK.
The sperm bank acted incorrectly after realizing the mistake.
But a hair cut is not something I'd bank on for relieve. It is a bank though and it might get a bailout if she looks like Obama's son, if he had one.

The point is--she specifically chose white--and didn't get it.

And yes, those of us who think the sperm bank should be held accountable are most likely considered racists--which doesn't bother me even a little bit.

The term "bi-racial" may be used in this country to mean black x white, but it should correctly be used for any combination other than same race--white x black, white x Mexican , black x Mexican, etc.

She's just going to have to deal with issues for the rest of her (and the child's) life that she wouldn't otherwise have with a non-bi-racial child.

And THAT is the fault of the sperm bank.

That is not what she stated regarding the town they are living in currently. And I don't know what you mean when you say the "east" has a way to go. NY, CT and MA are racially diverse.

"In the lawsuit, Jennifer Cramblett claims the lab mix-up has caused her and her partner added stress and anxiety as they struggle to raise their 2-year-old biracial daughter, Payton, in their “racially intolerant” community of Uniontown, Ohio...The mother also complains that in order to get her daughter’s hair cut, she has to travel to a black neighborhood, “where she is obviously different in appearance, and not overtly welcome.”

She wants to move to a racially diverse area.

Default Lesbian couple sue over race of their child.

Two lesbian women who are white are suing the sperm bank that assisted them in having a child because the sperm used was from a black man.

Their claim hinges on a few things but they have stated publicly that they live in a predominantly white neighborhood and feel a black child would not have the same opportunities or acceptance as in a different neighborhood.

The huge question that no one wants to talk about isn't the goof at the sperm bank but how is it that this lesbian couple would have been perfectly content living where they are had the child not been the product of a black man's sperm.

There we have it. There isn't really any tolerance in the LGBT community unless it it tolerance for their way of thinking.

They were ok with living in an all white neighborhood before. So how tolerant are they really? They never noticed there were no blacks where they lived? I bet that neither of the lesbian women would even consider being with a black woman.

The LGBT community asks and demands tolerance yet when it comes to their own choices, tolerance isn't considered, it is their way or the highway.

I could only imagine if this were a white straight couple from the suburbs. The media and most on the left would be screaming "racists" from up high.

I think it's funny. They want to act like they are hetero's and this is what they get. LMAO! Hard lesson learned.
