The employee misread her handwriting and selected the wrong fluids
Now she and her partner, Amanda Zinkon, are suing the clinic for error

Oh Dear

Could have been worse I suppose...

"Handwriting"? In 2015? What are these people, monks?

Only took them 3 years to realise they need to sue... money grabbing #$%&* I don't defend the clinic that have obviously made a mistake but...

In the UK a couple once sued as his vasectomy did not work. The judge told them that children are a blessing(he has clearly not met my children!) and dismissed the claim.

I hope the US shows similar sense. Children are a blessing. Plenty of children need adoption/fostering. Mrs BP and I want to do this - but the red-tape involved puts us off.

And our initial request was turned down as ex-mrs-bp has a kidney transplant that might fail and the twins might live with us. The children are 13 and can look after themselves and her. I they did move in with us we have a 6 bedroom house with bedroom for each of them as well as foster children.

And fostering still claim they are desperate for foster parents.

I suppose its the usual government incompetency.

A child is for life...

not just for xmas


this is the big problem with 'designer' babies - real people who want to be parents do not care about the colour of their off springs hair.

unless they are ginger mind you that is always a bit devastating for the parents.

Their argument seems to be "We live in a racist society. Now we're exposed to that, we want compensation."

Mrs V is a child minder, we frequently go out with a multi coloured brood. The reactions are amusing, sometimes worrying. They are all kids and beautiful in their own way.

I'm not sure I would cope with having a brown baby via IVF both being white, conversely I'm not sure I would want a white baby if both Brown. it would be a very challenging situation.

It's a fairly intrusive process; rightly so. Takes quite some time too. About 9 months and now nearly there.
