A clip from the series shows the couple at a fertility clinic where Judy said they “had to handpick a baby daddy.”
In the episode, Brat and Judy are disappointed to discover that there is a national shortage of Black sperm donors.
“We looking through the cryobank thing but we don’t see no Black people,” Da Brat tells their doctor.
“Yeah, that’s a problem,” the fertility doctor responds.
“Then it went from thousands of donors down to 224 donors,” Judy adds.
“And not one of them is Black,” Brat said.
“This is an issue. Unfortunately, there just aren’t enough Black donors,” the doctor said, adding, “Black sperm donors. Black egg donors. Unfortunately, the pool is limited.”

Meanwhile, we reported previously that the Black sperm donor shortage in America is forcing Black women hoping to start a family to choose a donor of another race.
According to The Washington Post, “Black sperm donors represent less than 2 percent of all sperm donors at the country’s four largest cryobanks,” the publication writes. The severe shortage is forcing Black women who need donor sperm to conceive to make a tough decision: raise a biracial child from donor sperm of another race or buy sperm from male friends or the Black market.
