White couple sues, says sperm bank gave vials from black donor By Meredith Rodriguez, Tribune reporter contact the reporter

A white Ohio woman is suing a Downers Grove-based sperm bank, alleging that the company mistakenly gave her vials from an African-American donor, a fact that she said has made it difficult for her and her same-sex partner to raise their now 2-year-old daughter in an all-white community.

Jennifer Cramblett of Uniontown, Ohio, alleges in the lawsuit filed Monday in Cook County Circuit Court, that Midwest Sperm Bank sent her the vials of an African American donor's sperm in September 2011 instead of those of a white donor that she and her white partner had ordered.

After searching through pages of comprehensive histories for their top three donors, the lawsuit claims, Cramblett and her domestic partner, Amanda Zinkon, chose donor No. 380, who was also white. Their doctor in Ohio received vials from donor No. 330, who is African-American, the lawsuit said.

Cramblett, 36, learned of the mistake in April 2012, when she was pregnant and ordering more vials so that the couple could have another child with sperm from the same donor, according to the lawsuit.

No such thing as what? This couple did not use IVF. The sperm was “applied” by whatever method they use to do it. IVF involves fertility drugs, egg extraction, fertilization in a petri dish, and implantation.

My wife and I had a procedure very similar to IVF, using my sperm and her eggs, about 23 years ago. Our 22 year old son and daughter would beg to differ with your statement that it was wrong. But I’d like your take on how it is wrong.

This is just a place marker. I saw this story somewhere else and searched for it here.

I wish a good family could take this little girl and give her a loving home.
