She wants more than $150K for being given sperm from a black man
(NEWSER) – A white Ohio woman mistakenly provided with sperm from a black man is suing the sperm bank she says is responsible…again. Reuters reports Jennifer Cramblett filed the new lawsuit in federal court on Friday. It claims the Midwest Sperm Bank committed negligence, fraud, and misconduct when it provided her and her partner with the wrong sperm resulting in her giving birth to a mixed-race daughter in August 2012. She's seeking more than $150,000 in damages. Cramblett's previous suit, which claimed wrongful birth and breach of warranty, was thrown out in September after a judge ruled neither of those applied in the case of a healthy baby.
Her current lawsuit claims she, as a white woman, isn't prepared to raise a mixed-race baby, which brings "numerous challenges and external pressures." According to her first lawsuit, those challenges and pressures include a racist community and an "unconsciously insensitive" family that is already having a hard enough time with her being a lesbian. Cramblett's first lawsuit took pains to make it clear that none of this means she doesn't love her daughter.
That's the problem with her lawsuit.
If she was told that the sperm donor was white and they then used the wrong sperm then she probably has a cause of action for breach of contract, but she cannot prove any damages. The cost of raising this child will be no greater than raising a white child. She is entitled to get her money back and nothing more.
Either way, the child is probably going to need years of intensive therapy, but that is entirely because of the moms.
Only with a ten-foot pole (and surgical gloves.)
Holy crow, imagine if somewhere an adopted child sued the agency because of the challenges and obstacles involved in being raised by gay parents.
Yes, no one else seems to be taking in the whole picture of this discussion. This is a reprehensible culture, from "bank" to "customer." No sane society should sell humans like this, but they are.
I've always asked the question from homosexual activists who claim that "having children" is as much their "right" as anything else: What if no one were willing to provide the genetic material your relationship lacks, and no children were readily available for adoption? How would you then exercise this "right?" By force against those who did possess the corresponding genetic material? Why not, when you are forcing much more from us, the violation of our consciences?
Only if the daughter self identifies as a boy or as a turtle or something, I think.
The damage would be done no matter what the race of the child since this selfish person chose to give conceive a baby without providing the child with a proper home.
The child is cute.
She should sue herself for stupidity - for even using a sperm bank.
That was my thought. The child would probably be better off put up for adoption.
Hopefully there are some decent grandparents who will nourish the child.
Winner in any Humor contest!
The lesbian was hoping for a white child to molest and sexually assault.
This outcome really interferes with her molestation career path.
Geeez, for that result all she’d had to do was go to the park after dark...
To date, we have spent over $100,000 trying to conceive.
At one point we would have taken any baby from any demographic, be they nappy haired or squinty eyed - we just wanted one with 10 fingers and 10 toes.
Note to the hateful dyke: a healthy child IS a perfect child.
Delivering a child unto a sicko like this constitutes child abuse.
I’ll say a prayer that you succeed. A child would be blessed to be nurtured by you.
Oh I agree with just paying her the money back and that is it. Mental anguish and all that stuff which are not tangible are the bane of medical lawsuits.
Thank you so much for your kind words.
We had to get a zip tie-device inserted around wife’s cervix, or something (”cerclage”). Took one hour, cost tens of thousands of dollars.
This latest egg “took”, and we are now 31 weeks pregnant, which is as far as we’ve ever gone, and the docs say certain windows of risk are past us now (Last time doc mocked me during the ultrasound: “Yes, the brain is STILL in side the skull”).
I will never own a boat or a cabin in the mountains or a big RV, because I put all that money into conceiving a child, and that’s perfectly OK by me.
Unlike with a child, I won’t lay on my death bed and regret that I never had an RV.
A lesbian should not be giving birth. She can't procure for herself a husband, why should she procure a child?
The sperm donor thing bugs me also. How can you give away your seed, and not even care in the least about what woman it's going to and the child produced as a result?
Let me know when your child is born. I’ll be thinking about you these next few weeks.
I will alert you when the baby is imminent.
We absolutely have to have a caesarian, and the doctors take the baby out a little pre-term because of that, so it won’t be a surprise for us when it hapens.
PS: It’s a girl!
