Woman Sues Sperm Bank After She Was Impregnated With A Black Man, Sperm by Nobody: 5:39pm On Oct 02, 2014
An Ohio woman has sued a
Chicago-area sperm bank after she became
pregnant with sperm donated by a black man
instead of a white man as she and her partner
had intended.
The woman is seeking damages and wants to
ensure the sperm bank doesn't make a similar
mistake again.
Within days of their wedding in New York,
Jennifer Cramblett and Amanda Zinkon had
become pregnant with the donor sperm. In April
2012, five months into her pregnancy,
Cramblett, 36, called Midwest Sperm Bank LLC
outside Chicago to reserve sperm from the
same donor in the hope that Zinkon, 29, would
someday also have a child.
That's when Cramblett received some
disturbing news, says a lawsuit filed Monday
against Midwest Sperm Bank in Cook County,
Illinois: She learned from a sperm bank
employee that she had been inseminated with
sperm from the wrong donor.
Cramblett said they had chosen sperm from a
man known as No. 380, a white donor. The
sperm used for insemination came from No.
330, a black donor, she said.
"How could they make a mistake that was so
personal?" Cramblett said during a telephone
interview on Wednesday.
According to the lawsuit, her excitement about
the pending birth was replaced with "anger,
disappointment and fear."
"They took a personal choice, a personal
decision and took it on themselves to make
that choice for us out of pure negligence,"
Cramblett said.
Telephone messages left Wednesday at
Midwest Sperm Bank were not returned. It's
unclear who its attorney is.
Cramblett said she and Zinkon love their 2-
year-old daughter, Payton, very much and
wouldn't change anything about her. But they
are concerned about raising her in the
predominantly white community where they
live.
The lawsuit said they had moved from Akron to
Uniontown for better schools and to be closer
to Cramblett's family. She said that as a
lesbian she has felt the sting of prejudice but
doesn't know what it's like to be mistreated
because of skin color.
The lawsuit says Cramblett also is worried
about how Payton will be treated in her "all-
white, and often unconsciously insensitive
family."
Therapists have recommended that Cramblett,
Zinkon and Payton move to a more racially
diverse community with good schools, the
lawsuit said.
Cramblett said she decided to sue to prevent
the sperm bank from making the same mistake
again. The lawsuit says the sperm bank has no
electronic record-keeping and no quality
controls that would have prevented it from
sending the wrong sperm to fertility clinics.
The lawsuit seeks a minimum of $50,000 in
damages. Cramblett's attorney, Tim Misny,
said some of the compensation would pay for
ongoing counseling. source. http://abcn.ws/

Probably never because some (whites) are very delusional. You'll have to put value on yourself because they will never do it for you or do it willingly. And you'll often have to give them a dose of reality check every time their god complex displays itself. Very tiring but amazingly, they check themselves very well around people with healthy self-respect.

Have dealt with a lot of their BS & I just had to put them in their place. You teach people how to treat you. Simple.

Quite sad, to think they're lesbians and have both faced some type of criticism for their lifestyle, you'd think they would lovingly accept this gross mistake without bringing race into it.

A child is a child, that poor baby already has to grow up in a dysfunctional family unit comprised of two mothers, they need to just go hide and raise that girl in peace.

I guess I'm just too traditional but I'll never understand how two people of the same gender can find attraction not to talk of marriage, whatever.

But you're correct, they do need to be knocked down a few pegs as a reminder that no person is superior than the other.

My brother, I know! Black people are infuriating.

Just yesterday I experienced how coon(ish) some still are. I went to my neighbourhood store to purchase a few items & I carried a lot of coins with me (R5s + R2s). I went to the till to pay for my stuffs & behind me was a white woman carrying only a redbull. She started acting like she was in a hurry, huffing & puffing behind me as I counted my coins. The cashier had a nerve to tell me to move aside so madam "I'm in a hurry" can pay. She told me this in English, trying to score brownie points with the white lady on my expense. I refused in English too & told her (the cashier), first come, first serve. The white lady got irritated, slammed the redbull on the counter & walked out.

I was SO annoyed I had to give the cashier a piece of my mind for the behaviour. Slaves until the end. Disgusting.

Granted, some whites can be really racist, and that is quite unfortunate. However in this case I actually see nothing remotely racist about this couple's preference. They gave ample reasons why they wanted a white donor and it all sounds plausible to me. Besides they have every right to choose the race they want their child to be. If they hate the negro race that much, they almost certainly would have aborted the baby at the initial stage. I honestly feel they just didn't want their kid to suffer racial prejudice as a result of being a product of mixed parentage. I understand that such kids usually suffer rejection from both black and white communities in America.

We can put ourselves in their shoes and imagine how we'd feel if we had asked for sperm from a black donor at the bank and instead later find out that we're pregnant from the sperm of some guy from a different race, perhaps a Chinese, a Somalian, a vietnamese or any other race. It can be a really disheartening experience. That hospital should be made to pay a hefty compensation for such gross incompetence.

No, I do get their situation. I'm not arguing with that, nor do I cur about their problem, really. I was simply giving an answer to the guy who was talking about race value.
Re: Woman Sues Sperm Bank After She Was Impregnated With A Black Man, Sperm by Nobody: 7:28am On Oct 03, 2014
Please let's not put sentiments into this.

How many black people wouldn't be infuriated if you paid for black donor sperm and ended up with a Chinese baby? You don't have to hate Chinese to be angry. Every mother has a vision of what their baby will look like, so imagine the shock when something else was put in there. There is nothing in this article that suggests they are racists or do not Love the child.

It's high time black people stop playing victim all the time! There are countless black people who would have reacted the same way if they were inseminated with a white donor sperm.

I disagree with your comment. There Is a reason why you go through a thorough selection process to select a donor. No sugar quoting it, the company messed up and should be held to account.

God forbid but if my wife and I had to go down the donor route we would pick a donor based on our preferences and most likely black as we are both black e.g Obama sperm smiley. If they make a mistake and insemination her with sperm from a random guy from China town who donated sperm to pay his gambling debt, we would be very angry.

Doesn't mean I hate Chinese or I am racist. Simple means we made a decision based on a number if factors eg race, genes, health, intelligence etc and now u have used a random sperm from God knows where. No sentiments here they bleeped up and must be held to account.

Why the wolf cries? She went to the bank with her specifications and probably pay handsomely for both product and service. By all means, she should get her order in the correct form! One should imagine how extremely inconvenient it is for white parents to have a black baby or black parents to have white baby. Everyone should clean up their acts and not saddle the unsuspecting clients with a life time of explanation.
