Texas judge delays ruling in custody battle over newborn with heart defect
A Dallas judge has extended a temporary restraining order for 14 days, delaying a final decision on custody of a newborn with a severe heart defect. The case involves a California couple, Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed, and their surrogate, McKenna West, who moved to Texas to give birth after refusing their request to terminate the pregnancy. The infant, named Rumi by the parents and Gabriel by West, is in critical condition following surgery. West seeks sole medical conservatorship, while the couple asserts parental rights and alleges West breached their surrogacy contract.
