The parents of two-year-old Payton love their daughter but have decided to file a lawsuit as they did not receive the donated sperm they had chosen.

Midwest Sperm Bank in Ohio sent the wrong sperm to the couple’s doctor providing them with a black man’s sperm instead their actual choice.

Jennifer Cramblett and her partner say they live in a 98% white and ‘intolerant’ community and are upset that that their mixed race daughter has already experienced racial prejudice.

She told NBC reporters: ‘I am happy that I have a healthy child, but I’m not going to let them get away with not being held accountable.’




Cramblett only found out about the mistake after her partner had already become pregnant with Payton and was ordering more sperm vials for a potential sibling.

After she had confronted the organisation, they sent her a refund for six vials and an apology before cutting off all contact.

With the assistance of her attorney, Tim Misny and family lawyer, Thomas Intili, she is demanding compensation which would allow her family to relocate to a more diverse community and good schools.

Intilli said of the mistake that led to this lawsuit: ‘They’ve made the one mistake a sperm bank can’t make.

‘It’s not like she was ordering pizza.’
