From the time she was a little girl, Katie Andrews of Bryan dreamed of being a mother. But when she was just 15, she found out that she would never carry a child. Katie was born without a uterus.
"I knew that I could have a biological child. I just couldn't carry it," Katie said.
When she and Jarod married in 2007, they knew they would have to use a surrogate to have a child, but they never imagined who would offer to carry the baby Katie could not.
"Courtney came to us and said that she would like to do this for us," Katie recalled.
Courtney Guest is Katie's little sister. Just a sophomore at Texas A&M University, Courtney told her mom, Susan Guest, that she wanted to help her older sister.
"I just patted her on the head and said, 'Darling, that's really sweet, but you can't do that,'" Susan said.
"At first, I told her no because she was 19 at the time," Katie added. "We said, 'That's so sweet -- that's such a sweet offer for you to do that for us.'"
But Courtney was determined to help her sister. She even went to the doctor on her own to be cleared for surrogacy.
"I have this young, healthy body that can carry a child. Why should I keep it to myself when I can do this great thing for her," Courtney explained.
