This really has to be the most pointless collection of photographs ever included with an article.
Kids are "kids", but jeeeeeeeeeeezzzzzzz...
What's Sperm ???
Note to non-UK FReepers: in American vernacular Asian usually means "East Asian" (Chinese, Korean, Japanese), while in British vernacular Asian usually means "South Asian" (Pakistani, Indian).
This reminds me of a story my friend told me. She and her husband are Jewish and the adopted a baby from Korea. The kid grew up in a very exclusive area outside of LA. When the little girl was about six years old she goes with her Mom to a deli where she sees, for the first time, another little Korean girl. Noticing they look alike, she goes over to the stranger and says, "Do you speak Hebrew too?"
Japan * ping * (kono risuto ni hairitai ka detai wo shirasete kudasai : let me know if you want on or off this list)
I dunno...they look human to me.
Beauty is only skin deep, and all children are beautiful. Enjoy yor happy life and don't get caught up in self-recrimination.
“All we wanted was a family. Instead we were landed with a nightmare that will last forever."
That's a horrible thing to say, even by my standards.
"They have moved house so the children can attend a mixed-race school."
Stupid politically correct turds.
OBLIGED to adopt the kids in an £80,000 process that was opposed by the Asian man, who has sought contact with the twins and wants to be recognised as their proper father.
Makes me wonder... does the "Asian man" in question have some connection with a worker in the clinic, one who could have deliberately switched sperm vials? Wouldn't that have been a fine joke to play on the infidels?

Special parents, special kids. They'll adapt and the extra hardships will bind them all even closer.
Which is not to say there won't be some rough spots down the road a bit.
The moral of the story: If you're undergoing a medical procedure that really MUST be done right, DON'T go to the NHS for it. I find it absolutely amazing that with this major foul-up by the NHS, the couple was apparently left to their own devices to get the children DNA-tested to establish their real parentage. Or perhaps the NHS did offer to do the testing, but the couple had learned their lesson and resolved never to go anywhere an NHS facility again.
if you live with this worry everyday, then chances are it's going to happen... gosh, stop listening to the "experts" already... what do they know? parent your babies as if they were yours biologically... raise your kids as you've always dreamed... that's it...
"‘I told her they had used a brown man’s sperm.’ "
I don't know how mixed race families teach their children to deal with questions but a six year old talking about a brown man's sperm vs. daddy's sperm freaks me out.
I remember an episode of Lassie where Timmy is at the table with Mother and Grandpa explaining what he learned about making tadpoles. He said the male spreads his milt over the eggs and Mother and Grandpa look at each other.
