"Cramblett says she discovered the mistake when she and her partner requested another few vials of same donor sperm to have another child." WUT. So they DIDN'T NOTICE THIS WHOLE TIME THAT HER KID WAS MIXED AND THEN FOUND OUT THE SPERM WAS FROM A BLACK MAN AND STOPPED LOVING THEIR BABY? Sigh.

I dunno if it's just how you wrote it Hillary but something about this woman is rubbing me the wrong way. I get the sense that she is kind of holding this kid at arms length, like "but... its black!" And I get the shock of having a mixed baby you weren't expecting but isn't the kid half hers? Shouldn't she still want…

"suing the place that gave her to you isn't the best jumping off point"

Generally, your baby will look like a small human. That's all anyone can really count on.

It sounds like that kid is screwed, but I hope that a change in location and exposure to multicultural and not-homophobic people will relax the moms, and make them better prepared to raise a multiracial child.

It is a super uncomfortable law suit, but she does have a case. That said, I'm not sure her attorney did her any long-term favors by including a claim for "wrongful birth." Those are typically reserved for situations when a child is born with extreme medical issues that the parents weren't told about and should have…

Also, she didn't realize when the baby was born that it was mixed? I don't think anyone can deny that it would be legitimately shocking and stressful to give birth to a baby that's an entirely different race than you were expecting. But if you were cool with the baby for 2 years and then you realized that the wrong…

"Cramblett goes on to say that she doesn't know much about black people and it's a lot to learn; in addition, her small Ohio home of Uniontown is "too racially intolerant."

I don't understand why people are hating on this lady. She isn't saying she doesn't love her child, she is saying her child will grow up in a hateful environment because the bank screwed up. Since everyone is saying she should move, then she deserves the money to do so.

Does any parent get the child they want?

So this is how God is going to start punishing the lesbians. Interesting.

I'd think that suing the sperm bank is actually a good jumping off point. The sperm bank made an error which is going to cost these women money; to give their child the best life they can, they need to move. They wouldn't have had to move, had the sperm bank done its job properly. Although, you know, they probably…

It sucks that Payton will eventually realize that her racial identity was/is a source of distress to her parents. Hopefully they find a way to explain that to her before she finds out on her own. Imagine Googling your parents names when you're 10 (or whenever) and discovering that your mother considers your birth…

She lives somewhere where it's acceptable for her to be a lesbian, but not to have a mixed race baby? I thought that homophobia and racism always came in pairs.

I think this says alot about the condition of black people in america, when notiong of having to deal with anti blackness even indirectly traumatizes white people.

You already named your kid Payton, you're already on the road to being a terrible mom.

I'm not sure Jennifer has to worry about being turned on in the way Anne was. I think part of what made Anne a target is how...sincere and earnest she seems. Not that Jennifer is a phoney or something, but I get the impression that she's much more savvy about her image and what she puts out there for the world to see,…

I agree. The anti-Hathaway backlash was fuelled by infantile public fickleness far more than anything Anne said or did.

tangential but, @annehathaway added me on ello and i can't tell which one of my asshole friends it is
