Surrogate McKenna West Shut Down By Supreme Court In Battle Over Baby Boy
McKenna West SCOTUS Hands Her Legal Loss ... In Fight For Baby
Update
3:25 PM PT -- Adam Wolf, the attorney representing the baby's biological parents, tells TMZ ... "We are grateful that Rumi can continue receiving the treatment he needs to survive, and that he will not be stripped away from his parents, who are ensuring their child receives top-notch medical care."
The statement continued ... "Ms. West’s legal filings across three states, numerous courts of appeals, and now the U.S. Supreme Court have sought to undermine Rumi’s parents’ right to provide him with the care he needs. Those efforts have been rejected by every single court."
Surrogate McKenna West lost her bid to have the Supreme Court review her battle with the biological parents of the child she gave birth to, TMZ has learned.
On Tuesday, Justice Elena Kagan decided to reject McKenna's plea for the court to review the decision to award custody of the baby to the biological parents, Omar Ahmed and Nausheen Gilkar.
McKenna argued she should have custody since Omar and Nausheen wanted to abort the child due to a birth defect. Omar and Nausheen scoffed at the suggestion that they shouldn't be the ones to take care of the baby.
In her filing, McKenna claimed she feared the baby would not get the proper care it needed if it remained in Omar and Nausheen's care. The biological parents denied the claim and asked for McKenna to leave them alone.
Now, SCOTUS has weighed in.
