Lawsuit |
The Jennifer Cramblett incident took place in Ohio, United States in 2014, when Jennifer Cramblett, a white woman in a lesbian relationship,[1] gave birth to a multiracial female child. Cramblett had requested a sperm donor from a white man and instead was impregnated by the sperm donated by an African American man.[2][3][4]
The incident made national headlines and Cramblett and her domestic partner Amanda Zinkon[5] filed a lawsuit against the sperm bank which they eventually lost.[6][7][8]
In the lawsuit Cramblett said the incident was "an unplanned transracial parent-child relationship for which she was not, and is not, prepared."[2]
Cramblett also claimed the lawsuit was "not about race".[9]
