Surrogate McKenna West, a nurse from Alaska, has been grabbing attention. McKenna agreed to carry and deliver a baby for an LA-based couple, Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed. During the surrogacy agreement, McKenna was presented with a clause that allowed the biological parents to choose to terminate the pregnancy if any ‘anomaly’ was found.
While still a fetus, the baby was diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, which is a rare birth condition in which the left side of the heart doesn’t fully grow. After the diagnosis, the biological parents asked McKenna to have an abortion, which she refused; she moved to Texas and gave birth to a baby boy there. She named him Gabriel, who was soon taken to the NICU for further treatment.

However, it’s the biological parents who filed a temporary restraining order against McKenna before the child was even born. As per the documents obtained by TMZ, McKenna is not allowed to make any kind of decision regarding the baby, and the authority has gone straight to his biological parents. On the other hand, McKenna is also not staying quiet and vowed to fight legally with the biological parents of her baby.
