A white Ohio woman is suing a sperm bank for allegedly
inseminating her with sperm from a black donor by mistake.
Jennifer Cramblett, 36, was only four months into her pregnancy
when she learned the Midwest Sperm Bank in Chicago wrote down
the wrong donor chosen by her and her partner.
The lesbian couple, who live in rural, conservative Uniontown,
Ohio, are now coming to grips with what it's like to raise a
biracial child in a primarily white community.
They say they're worried about how 2-year-old Payton will grow
up in an �all-white environment� where even her own family is
cautious of her parents' same-sex relationship.
Their child is also driven to a �black neighborhood" just to get
a haircut. The lawsuit claims Cramblett is not welcome in those
neighborhoods because �she is obviously different in appearance.�
�We would have to bring a male into our lives and when you think
of sperm, you think of sexual encounters and neither of us
wanted to think of males in our lives that way again,� Cramblett
stated in court documents obtained by the Chicago Tribune.
The lawsuit, filed Monday, details what Cramblett�s attorney
describes as a wrongful birth and breach of warranty in seeking
to obtain $50,000 in damages from the allegedly botched
procedure.
Cramblett's successful pregnancy eventually led to the birth of
a girl of mixed race who would grow up in her parents �racially
intolerant� community, the lawsuit describes.
The mistake reportedly stemmed from an error on paperwork that
only came to Cramblett�s attention when she called the sperm
bank to order additional vials of sperm for her partner.
She spiraled into a panic attack when she realized a clerical
error led to her being impregnated by Donor No. 330 instead of
Donor No. 380.
The sperm bank refused to discuss the error over the phone with
Cramblett, but a month later, the couple received a letter of
apology and a refund for only half the sperm.
Despite the grievance, Payton was delivered Aug. 21 2012 to
Cramblett and her partner, Amanda Zinkon.
Cramblett admitted she didn�t know any black people until she
attended college at the University of Akron. To accommodate
Payton�s appearance, she�ll need to move to a diverse area to
take care of Payton�s psychological well-being, the suit claims.
