We Do Not Want A Black Baby

NEW YORK - A Long Island couple can proceed with a lawsuit against a fertility clinic after their baby girl was born with a complexion that is much darker than either parent's, a judge has ruled. The lawsuit claims the clinic botched the insemination of the wife's eggs. The ruling was made public Wednesday.

This is a very unfortunate case. I mean, this little girl is precious but is not the guy's daughter. How could this happened? When reading the article I had the impression the parents are more concerned over the little girl's complexion than the fact that is not the daughter of the guy. Strange.

There seems to be a lot of mixed messages coming out of this story. Firstly, if it were me that was involved, I would be very concerned as to the health state of the mixed up donor..ie, was he HIV infected or had aids, and would this be passed on through the Mother or child?
There doesn't seem to be any anxiety over this, it just purely seems to be about the color of the girls skin and nothing else, which I think is very sad, as you have to remember that a little girl is involved here, and she doesn't seem to have been accepted at all into the family.
I can see that the family would be disappointed that the father wasn't actually the biological Father of the child, but the Mother isn't white American, so really they could get away with the little girl's skin color being slightly darker.
As to whether the family should be able to sue or not, I would say yes, on the grounds of health risks and not knowing whether the sperm donors health had been screened or not.
Either way, the little girl is beautiful, and I hope she is loved and treasured as she deserves to be.

Exactly. When I first read the news I thought the little girl looked 100% African American and that the difference was enormous, although you see a difference between her and her sister it is not so big that people would actually stare at her. Not to mention the mom is from the Dominican Republic . Besides all this, where is the sperm of this guy if it was not used? Scary.

Plenty of different race children are adopted and raised in families that have no problem whatsoever with "physical and emotional illness" due to their different race or ethnicity. That's a non-issue in my opinion, unless the FAMILY treats that poor little girl differently because of her race. And wouldn't that be a crime?! She is STILL genetically that mother's child, and should be treated with the same love and care as other children in the family.

Personally, I don't think she looks all that different from her sister in the photo from the article.

The other questions of whether or not the husband's sperm has been used in inseminating other couples' eggs, and whether or not the "offending" sperm has been used elsewhere - well, that's going to be an investigation and a whole other lawsuit, probably.

That's exactly what I thought. Considering her mom is from the Dominican Republic (with a great percentage of Blacks) it is not all "crazy" that the girl could have been born looking a little darker than the other one. ALL kids are different.

Here's another idea to throw in the mix: Is there any hint that the mother may have had an affair? Is it proven that the sperm came from another donor at the clinic?

From the article:

Also, it seems to me she can't get pregnant naturally and that's why they did in vitro (so I do not see the possibility of an affair).

The thing is, the man on this story is probably having a daughter or son somewhere! Where is his sperm?
