Jill Noe, 34, is carrying twins for her sister, Whitney Bliesner, 34, of Portland Oregon, and is due June 6.
“I’ve always been amazed by her, especially through this whole process,” Bleisner added. “She bounced back so quickly.”
When she was a teen, Bliesner was diagnosed with neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2), a condition that causes tumors to form in the Ьгаіп, spinal cord and пeгⱱeѕ, according to Mayo Clinic.

In 2016, Bliesner married her husband Peter. The couple wanted to start a family, but Bliesner’s condition made it гіѕkу for her to carry children, she told “GMA” in April.
“I have a 50/50 chance of passing my dіѕoгdeг onto my child,” Bliesner explained, adding that pregnancy hormones might increase tᴜmoг growth.

That’s when her twin decided to step in and give her sister a selfless gift.

“It’s my best friend, someone I’ve come into this world with so it was really a no-brainer that I’d offer to be her surrogate,” Noe said of Bleisner.
The Bliesners are now home with the kids and enjoying parenthood.
“It’s so different and exciting,” Bleisner said, adding that she’s going to start baby books for her twins. “I can’t wait for them to say ‘Mom, [to] hear it for the first time.”

“I truly had no words and was just so happy and relieved everyone was healthy,” Noe said. “Pete and Whit are naturals when it comes to parents. Those kids are going to be so loved and it is beyond rewarding that I could help them become parents.”
