"The damage to the [younger] child in the future, to both the siblings and the family unit could be quite catastrophic," said Caron Heyes, the couple's lawyer.

Only if you keep reminding the kid about how he's so much different than the rest of the family. Treat him with unconditional love and acceptance (which is what you'd expect from a gay couple) and the kid will be just fine.

But he was just born that way. Why can't they accept that?

Can they not just love the children they were given?

It's about starting a family with offspring that is similar to you. Racial mix-ups undermine that.

FTFA: In 2002, a white couple had mixed-race twins after an Asian man's sperm was mistakenly used to fertilise the woman's eggs at a Leeds IVF clinic. "All we wanted was a family. Instead, we were landed with a nightmare that will last forever," the woman later said.

Sounds pretty farking racist to me. A "nightmare"? Really lady?

r1niceboy: And children? This is why gays racists shouldn't be allowed to breed.

And children? This is why gays shouldn't be allowed to breed.

If these people are only cluing in to the fact that there was a mix up because of the color of the kid's skin, then i wonder how many SAME RACE mix ups happen and go under the radar?

And yes, these parents are idiots. They should consider themselves lucky that modern science allows them to procreate at all.

Jesus Christ. Poor kids. "Junior, I'm really sorry, but you're not the Designer Baby(TM) mommy wanted, so she's not going to love you. By the time you're 15 you'll probably have enough issues to become a serial killer, so good luck with that."

They still love her and feed her mice.

I hate these people a bit. Your child is a "nightmare that will last forever?" Nice. And you don't just think this; you put this on the internet.

I hope instead of any future fertility treatments, you put that money in an account for your child's future therapy. They'll need it.

And suing the doctor because of the child you ended up with? Can you imagine being so repulsive to your parents that they feel the need to sue? My heart hurts for these kids. The parents don't deserve them.

Actually, I hate these people a whole lot.

A child possessed by Satan is a nightmare that will last forever. Having ones of different color, not so much. The kids are gonna have more issues having two mommies versus why his/her brother or sister is a different color.

Yeah, there was a goof-up -- it isn't like they could tell the race of the donor by the color of the sperm. However, if you can't (or won't) have kids the normal way, and you just absolutely have to have a kid or five, just be farking grateful the procedure worked. In this case spay / neuter would have been the prudent thing.

Justin Case: Can they not just love the children they were given?

This!
I have 3 children. My oldest is black haired with darker skin.My middle child has light brown hair and is not as dark.My youngest has blonde hair and very fair skin.
They are all fathered by the same man.
I didn't get to pick what I wanted my kids to look like and I think that given the chance I couldn't play God.
This whole thing just gives me the creeps.

So just because you're gay doesn't mean you can't be a racist idiot too.
Makes sense, atheists can be irrational, serial killers can be kind to small animals and politicians can be sincere.

I hear that all that sperm looks the same anyway.

"We wanted children. But not those kind of children. Those kind of children make the neighbors talk."
