My brother and my sister in law are having trouble having a baby. She has had several miscarriages and was diagnosed with Gillian Barret syndrome is is still in her 20's and desperately wants a family. We just recently discovered that she has Endometriosis. I just was not sue of because he was my biological brother is I could be a surrogate for them.

Amber,

You can be a GESTATIONAL surrogate mother for your brother and his wife, either using her eggs or eggs from an egg donor.

You cannot be a traditional surrogate mother for your brother and his wife, using your own eggs, because then the baby would have you as a biological mother and your brother as a father.

Many sisters have been gestational surrogates for their brothers. What a nice sister you are!

Best wishes!
