Baby at center of surrogacy legal battle between Los Angeles, California couple, Alaska surrogate undergoes heart surgery, attorney says

A baby boy at the center of a multistate surrogacy legal battle underwent emergency heart surgery in a Texas hospital. The child, born with a life-threatening heart defect, was delivered by surrogate McKenna West. West reportedly fled from Alaska to Texas to give birth, sparking a legal dispute involving the biological parents residing in Los Angeles, California. The medical intervention occurred shortly after birth following an intervention by Paxton to address the infant's critical health condition.
