My sister(one of ) has developed a very rare disease after having her first daughter which means she can't get pregnant anymore. She is still youngish (30ish) and wants to have another baby, but wants me to do the pregnancy bit for her. Her husband and herself came to ask me today and I was totally dumbfounded. I was honoured that my sister really wants me to do it for her, but I have a daughter mysekf and I'm barely keeping up with my college studies. I would feel hugely bad and am scared that this could destroy our sisterly relationship if I refuse her bcause she has done alot for me including paying half of my college fees, and I know I can never repay her. What should I do? I am totally lost. What would you do if you were in my position? Any words of advice?

It doesn't sound like you are totally agianst this just not at this time. I think you should talk to her about this and be totally honest with her. I was concived in a time that a single mother was not acceptable and my mother went into the hospital and had me under her sister's name and she (my aunt) took me home and raised me until I was about 3 years old. Then my mother came and took me. These are extreem cercomstances but I just want you to know that the sisters even with all that happened were close until they passed. I think it is between the two of you and you just need to be honest with her about how you feel. This is not borrowing a sweater or dress so it will take more communication. Good luck
