A custody battle is underway over a newborn with a severe heart defect. The child's surrogate, from Alaska, has been denied custody by a court. She is now seeking emergency intervention from the U.S. Supreme Court.

The surrogate has petitioned the high court for help, following the court's denial of her custody request. Details of the case are limited, but further information is available.

The case involves a newborn with significant medical needs, and the surrogate is attempting to intervene at the highest judicial level to secure custody of the child.
