white peopleeeeee

Kind of on the fence with this one. I read the article and it appears that they actually do care about the child, but are scared for her because their families and the town they live in are racist as fuck. They also both acknowledged that they may not really have the cultural competency needed to raise the baby, as they really didn’t have much contact with Black people until much later on in their lives.

So, it’s not so much that they are like EW MY BABY IS BLACK AND I WANT TO SUE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS SPERM BANK, it’s more so I SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR A WHITE DONOR, AND WHILE I DO LOVE MY CHILD AND BONDED WITH HER IMMEDIATELY, THE SPERM BANK STILL WAS NEGLIGENT, AND NOW I AM SCARED BECAUSE I CURRENTLY DO NOT HAVE THE SOCIAL AND CULTURAL MEANS TO PROPERLY CARE FOR MY CHILD

i read the article and i understand like idk

i feel bad for the child that don’t deserve any of that going on.

Either way, that’s your fucking child, you asked for her, there you have it, if you LOVE the child like you claim you do… What’s the point in suing…

exactly

The point is to make the bank realize that they can’t get away with a mistake this big.

The real issue is the risk of them doing that to someone who is racist, and the danger the baby would be put in. It could grow up neglected, abused, or thrown out for adoption with no guarantee of being given to a caring home.

It doesn’t matter that these women love their child regardless.

It matters that someone might not, and the bank needs to be more responsible with the lives it is bringing into the world.
