Most would feel blessed with the addition of another child. Won't this kid be delighted when he/she grows up and finds out mommy and mommy filed suit because they didn't want him/her.
CANBERRA (Reuters) - A lesbian couple in Australia are suing their doctor after they had twin girls from an in vitro fertilisation (IVF) procedure when they only wanted one child.
The two women are seeking more than A$400,000 (171,941 pounds) in damages to help pay for the cost of raising the second child, including private school fees, saying they made it clear to their doctor that they only wanted one baby.
The twins are now three years old and the civil case, the first of its kind in Australia, has prompted debate about the value of children and role of parents.
