Jennifer Cramblett, 36, claims the mistake has caused her stress and anguish because her family is racist and she lives in a small, all-white Uniontown in northeast Ohio. In a lawsuit filed this week in Cook County, Illinois, Ms Cramblett says Midwest Sperm Bank sent her several vials of a black man's sperm by mistake because the clinic keeps paper records and accidentally transposed numbers on her order. The couple had specifically chosen a white donor to be the father of their child. The lawsuit says the clinic later sent Ms Cramblett an apology note and a refund for the six vials - though charged her for the vials of the correct semen she received. Ms Cramblett she has 'limited cultural competency relative to African-Americans' and worries that her daughter Payton will not be accepted in her hometown of Uniontown. 'Jennifer lives each day with fears, anxieties and uncertainty about her future and Payton's future,' according to the lawsuit. Ms Cramblett, the assistant manager of an AT&T store, said she and her partner Amanda Zinkon love their daughter, who is now two years old, but say they must now consider moving to a more diverse community.

I'd think the couple deserve a cash settlement that allowed them to move to another communityand paid bills for a couple of years or until couple found new jobs. It isn't all that easy to just pick up and move in this economy. BUT- a poster just below you points out that the sperm bank might not even have known the race of donor. Even the donor might not have known (it's possible, maybe no probable). So is clinic responsible for running DNA analysis? Was it included in the info the couple was given? Has the clinic accepted the mistake was theirs? I am not so quick to condemn the couple.
