ADF client, surrogate mother, fights to give baby ongoing lifesaving care

Tuesday, Aug 18, 2026

The following quote may be attributed to Alliance Defending Freedom client McKenna West, an Alaska nurse and surrogate mother, who is fighting to ensure the baby boy she recently delivered receives the ongoing lifesaving care necessary to treat a serious heart condition:

“My focus has always been on protecting this precious baby’s life. It was great to hear that he received the first of the three necessary surgeries yesterday. What matters most now is making sure he gets the life-saving care he will need in the coming months, care that the other side is currently fighting in court for their ability to withhold. My focus therefore remains on protecting his life.”

Alliance Defending Freedom is an alliance-building, non-profit legal organization committed to protecting religious freedom, free speech, parental rights, and the sanctity of life.
