McKenna West, the gestational surrogate of “Baby Gabriel”, has been sued for US$100,000 by his biological parents, who claim that her refusal to have an abortion violated their surrogacy contract.
The lawsuit was filed before the child’s birth on August 12. In it, biological parents Nausheen Gilkar and Omar Ahmed are requesting US$100,000 in damages, plus an additional unspecified amount for “malicious, outrageous conduct”.
The child, who was nicknamed “Gabriel” by West before his birth, has been given a different name by his biological parents. In court documents, he is referred to by the name chosen by his biological parents. Before his birth, he was known in the media as “Baby Gabriel”.
