Woman Sues Sperm Bank After Getting Pregnant By Black Donor by serenityspot83(f): 5:03pm On Nov 14, 2014
A white Ohio woman is suing a sperm bank,
claiming that she was accidentally inseminated
with vials from a black donor.
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 Chicago Tribune reported.
The lawsuit, filed Monday in Cook County
Circuit Court, alleges that Midwest Sperm Bank
gave her the vials of an African-American
donor's sperm in September 2011, even though
she and her partner had picked out sperm from
a white donor.
The lawsuit says they received vials from
African-American donor No. 330, instead of
sperm from white donor No. 380. The mix-up
occurred because the hospital keeps
handwritten records, which were likely misread,
the lawsuit alleges.
Cramblett, 36, didn't know about the error until
she was already pregnant in April 2012 and
decided to order more vials from the same
donor, so she could have another child with her
partner. She called up the sperm bank and was
informed that the vials she received earlier were
from a different donor than the one they had
requested.
She's now suing the sperm bank for wrongful
birth and breach of warranty because of the
"emotional distress" and "economic and non-
economic losses" she's endured.
"On August 21, 2012, Jennifer gave birth to
Payton, a beautiful, obviously mixed-race baby
girl," the lawsuit states. "Jennifer bonded with
Payton easily and she and Amanda love her
very much. Even so, Jennifer lives each day
with fears, anxieties and uncertainty about her
future and Payton's future."
Many of these fears stem from the fact that
Payton is growing up in an intolerant
neighborhood with an all-white family, the
lawsuit says.
"Because of this background and upbringing,
Jennifer acknowledges her limited cultural
competency relative to African-Americans and
steep learning curve, particularly in small,
homogenous Uniontown, which she regards as
too racially intolerant," the lawsuit states.
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's also worried that her biracial daughter
will feel stigmatized around her "all white and
unconsciously insensitive family."
