A surrogate in Alaska carried a baby for a California couple. After doctors discovered the baby would need urgent heart surgery, a disagreement over the pregnancy led the surrogate to travel to Texas—and eventually to a fight over custody. The headlines tell only part of this story. Jenna walks through what each side says happened, why the U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up the surrogate’s emergency appeal, and what the lower court decisions mean for the baby’s care. The case also raises a bigger question: How do three states’ laws apply when there is no federal law governing surrogacy? What questions do you have about this case? Share them in the comments.
