The Surrogate's Unyielding Grip on Life and Law A recent Texas supreme court ruling has allowed McKenna West's month old son, Rumi, who was born via surrogate, to be relocated to California for treatment.
This decision has sparked a heated debate about abortion, parental rights, and the complexities of surrogacy. The case centers on the question of who should have authority over Rumi's care.
The California court had recognized Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed as his biological parents, but West had attempted to block their custody rights in Texas.
