Jennifer Cramblett, who lives in virtually an all-white town of Uniontown, Ohio gave birth to Payton, a gorgeous bi-racial girl on August 21, 2012. Jennifer and her partner Amanda Zinkon, chose donor No. 380, who is white. When they went to order more vials for future children, that is when they realized that she was originally given donor No. 330, who is black.
Jennifer was already pregnant when realized the mistake.
Apparently, The Midwest Sperm Bank keeps hand written records and doesn’t use computers, which is why they believe the mix up happened. The records were misread. The sperm bank sent Cramblett a typed apology and a refund check for the mistaken sperm vials that she paid for.
Jennifer says, it is going to be difficult for her to raise Payton, who is now 2 years old, in an all white community. “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.
Jennifer didn’t even know any African Americans until she entered college.

This is completely pathetic!!! An abominable lifestyle is more acceptable than such a gorgeous baby girl because she has more melatonin?!!! Give up the child for adoption, she deserves a better life anyways! I am looking to adopt!
