Baby’s Heart Condition Sparks Custody Battle | California News

A baby born with a life-threatening heart condition in Texas is at the center of a high-stakes legal battle between intended parents from California and the surrogate who carried him. The parents, who knew of the diagnosis months in advance, sought an abortion — but the surrogate refused and traveled to Texas before birth. Texas Attorney General stepped in, securing a court order to ensure the baby receives critical care and that the parents make medical decisions. The baby is now with his parents, receiving top-tier treatment, while the surrogate’s legal team continues to challenge parentage under Texas law, arguing the birth mother holds legal rights. Despite the legal turmoil, the parents remain laser-focused on their son’s health and well-being, cherishing every moment with him as he fights for his life.
