Pregnancy

Sister brings double the joy to family-of-four in incredible act of kindness

Melissa Kayser and her husband had been trying for a baby for over three years. 

But the 33-year-old was told by doctors it was time to start making other plans, like trying a surrogate.

Melissa had suffered nine miscarriages in her attempts to become an expectant mum, but there was nothing but heartbreak for her and husband, Court. 

At first, Melissa was apprehensive about sharing her story, but her openness led to one of the happiest days of her life.

"We weren’t sure if we were ready to share our story but starting our family is one of the most important times in our lives."

"Court and I have an amazing opportunity, one that we never thought we would have, using a gestational carrier to make our dreams come true!"

Once Melissa's sister, Lisa, realised her sister would not be able to carry a baby, she stepped up to take on the responsibility. 

The 35-year-old reveals to Inside Edition, she doesn't want to start a family but was more than willing to help her sister and brother-in-law on their journey, as she couldn't 'stand to see her sister in pain'. 

Lisa became pregnant with her sisters' twins, where she claimed she had an 'easy pregnancy', giving birth to healthy twin girls. 

Ashlynn and Tierney were welcomed to the world, and while Melissa and Court were excited to become parents, Lisa revealed she is looking forward to being the best aunt to her two nieces. 

"I am very grateful to have a sister who was willing to do me such a big favour," cries the new mum-of-two. 

These two little angels are beautiful – would you go through with such an amazing act for your sister? Incredible.
