A woman seeking custody of her dead partner's 5-year-old son cannot be recognized as a psychological parent, the West Virginia Supreme Court was told on Tuesday.

After falling in love and committing to each other, Tina Burch and Christina Smarr decided to have a child together.

The couple agreed that Smarr would carry their child. On December 25, 1999, Smarr gave birth to Zachary. The couple raised Zachary together as a family until Smarr was tragically killed in an automobile accident on June 1, 2002.
