A surrogate has asked the US Supreme Court to intervene in a custody dispute. McKenna West made the request to pause a California court's order granting parental authority to the newborn boy's genetic parents. The child has a rare heart defect.

The genetic parents had asked West to have an abortion, but she gave birth to the child in Texas instead. A Texas judge previously dismissed West's custody claims.

Further details on the case and the surrogate's appeal to the high court are available from the source. The dispute is ongoing, with the surrogate seeking intervention from the US Supreme Court.
