(CNN) When her sister couldn't get pregnant, this twin stepped up to make her dreams come true. Jill Noe and Whitney Bliesner, 34, from Portland, Oregon, have always shared a special bond because they are twins. That bond is growing stronger, as Noe has become a surrogate for Bliesner. NF2 stopped Bliesner from having children, since pregnancy puts her at a higher risk of tumors due to hormonal changes, according to Noe, a former basketball star who played at Arizona State University. Over the holidays in 2017, she told Noe she didn't think her dream would become a reality.
