(Texas Tribune) - The Texas Supreme Court has rejected a surrogate's attempt to keep the child she delivered in Texas, clearing the way for the biological parents to take the medically fragile infant to California.

On Thursday, the Texas Supreme Court denied the request by McKenna West, an Alaskan surrogate who had tried to block the biological parents from removing the 1-month-old from Texas and taking him to a hospital in Los Angeles, where the couple lives.
