<div><p>Melissa Kayser was living every woman's worst nightmare. After years of expensive fertility treatments and IVF, the 33-year-old had experienced 9 miscarriages, and said she felt "like a failure." With no other option, her doctors recommended she hire a surrogate, but the idea of letting another woman carry her baby hurt Melissa even more.</p><p>That's when Melissa's older sister Lisa stepped in and changed everything. Lisa volunteered to be Melissa's <a href="https://www.shared.com/after-not-being-able-to-conceive-how-this-couple-grew-their-family-will-leave-you-shocked-2/">surrogate</a>, and the experience changed them both forever.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/K1.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/K1_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/K1_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>Doctors only had two "poor quality" embryos from Melissa, but to everyone's surprise they worked perfectly, and soon Lisa was pregnant with <a href="https://www.shared.com/the-true-and-amazing-story-of-one-couple-two-sets-of-twins-and-one-very-big-surprise/">twins</a>.</p><p>It was an unexpected change for Lisa, who says she doesn't want any kids herself.</p><p>"I never saw myself being a mom," she said. "I enjoyed being pregnant, but the experience has not changed in my mind. I am just fine being an aunt."</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/k2-1.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/k2-1_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p>Thankfully Lisa had a very uneventful pregnancy and gave birth to a pair of happy and healthy twin girls, Ashlynn and Tierney. The local news celebrated their birth with headlines like "Woman Gives Birth To Twin Nieces." </p><p>"Every day I am in awe. You hear women say you don't really know love until you have children. They really do complete me," Melissa told <a href="http://www.insideedition.com/headlines/23275-woman-carries-twins-for-her-sister-who-had-9-miscarriages">Inside Edition</a>, "There's never any words that I can say to thank her for what she did."</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/k3.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/k3_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>It hasn't been a perfectly smooth ride for the sisters. Nebraska has a very outdated surrogate law, so the twins won't legally be Meagan's daughters for a few more months, but that's a minor setback.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/K4-1.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/K4-1_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/K4-1_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p>Now Melissa is looking forward to raising her family and teaching her daughters about their incredible aunt.</p><p>"We want our girls to know that their aunt did such an amazing thing for us."</p><p><strong>Share this post if you would do anything for your sister!</strong></p></div>
