Alaska Surrogate Appeals Newborn Custody to Supreme Court
Surrogate McKenna West is appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court to challenge a California court’s recognition of the intended parents as legal guardians and a Texas court’s dismissal in a custody dispute over a baby born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, arguing she should retain authority over the child’s medical care. The case centers on who has the right to decide life-saving treatment—the surrogate or the intended parents—amid allegations of pressure to abort, with involvement from Texas authorities and ongoing legal battles across states.
