A baby boy born via surrogacy in Texas is now in the custody of his biological parents, according to reporting. The child was born Wednesday morning.
The dispute centers on the pregnancy’s medical circumstances and a conflict between the commissioning parents and the surrogate. The biological parents had reportedly demanded that the surrogate, identified in one report as McKenna West, terminate the pregnancy after the fetus was found to have a heart defect. The surrogate refused.
Across the available coverage, the central points align on the birth, the custody outcome, and that the biological parents sought an abortion based on the fetal heart condition. Differences in emphasis are present in tone and framing, but no other outlets’ accounts are provided here to confirm additional details such as court proceedings, specific medical findings, or the full legal basis for the custody decision.
