I saw this story about an Ohio birth yesterday.

^Jennifer Cramblett (right) and her partner, Amanda Zinkon, from Uniontown, Ohio wanted to have children.
So, they went to the Midwest Sperm Bank in Chicago and poured over all kinds of sperm donor profiles, seeking a blonde blue-eyed donor so that the baby would resemble its mother. They chose donor #380 and the impregnation went as planned.
Zinkon was 5 months pregnant when the couple decided that they wanted more children and called the Midwest Sperm Bank to order more samples from donor #380. That's when Cramblett was informed that a mistake had been made. Her partner had been inseminated by donor #330.
"WTF?!', said Cramblett, "tell me about #330." "Well..............", said the clerk, "he's a black dude".

And, so, little Payton ^ was born. She's 'effin cute.
Payton's two-years-old now and Cramblett has filed suit against the Midwest Sperm Bank. She says that she and Zinkon love their child unconditionally, but want the sperm bank to pay for them to move out of their racially-intolerant town to an urban area with more diversity -- in order to minimize Payton being bullied and give her more exposure to other races.
Cramblett claims that as a lesbian growing up in podunk, she knows how it feels to be the victim of bigotry and doesn't want Payton to go through that. Cramblett says that she's suffering from anxiety and fear as a result of the sperm bank's mistake and also wants them to pay for counseling and such.
Plus, Cramblett has to drive far to an all-black neighborhood so Payton can have her hair done properly and that ain't cool.
The sperm donor was not in the delivery room. I don't know if any photos were taken during the birth.
