A surrogate, McKenna West, files an emergency appeal with the US Supreme Court seeking to temporarily block a newborn’s biological parents from moving the baby out of Texas, according to multiple reports. West, 28, says she fears the child will be taken out of the state as a custody dispute continues.
The case stems from disagreements involving the surrogate arrangement and the biological parents’ requests. After West previously refused to terminate her pregnancy, the dispute shifts into legal proceedings over custody and related decisions. The Supreme Court appeal aims to preserve the child’s location while higher-level review is considered.
Outlets describe the appeal as “last-minute” and “frantic,” but they agree on the core request: asking the Supreme Court to issue an order preventing the move out of Texas while litigation proceeds.
