Court expected to rule on Baby M custody dispute
Sterns and surrogate mother Beth Whitehead-Gould await the New Jersey Supreme Court ruling on custody. The case centers on a $10,000 surrogacy contract and the surrogate's parental rights, with potential implications for surrogacy and reproductive technology. The Sterns seek custody while Whitehead-Gould asks the court to reverse the lower court decisions. The child, Melissa Elizabeth Stern, will turn two soon and currently lives with the Sterns. The guardian urged limiting Whitehead-Gould’s visitation for five years to protect the child’s stability.
