Surrogacy

The U.S. Supreme Court is seen in Washington May 11, 2026. An order from the high court Sept. 22 gave parents custody of a baby in a surrogacy fight. Surrogate McKenna West had argued she should be awarded custody of the newborn because the parents, Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed, had asked her to get an abortion after a heart defect in the child was discovered.
