I was a surrogate for my gay brother – we used my egg and his husband's sperm so they're both related to the baby and I'd do it again in a heartbeat

A woman gave birth to her brother’s baby – after agreeing to be a surrogate so he could start a family.

Sabreena Henderson, 29, from Buena Park, California, volunteered to help sibling Shane Petrie, 32, and his husband Paul Petrie, 36.

She said she has ‘always felt strongly’ about sexual equality – so was more than willing to help out.

And, after five failed insemination attempts and a miscarriage, Sabreena gave birth to baby Tristan in September last year. 

She said: ‘Seeing the happiness in their eyes and the smile on my brother’s face made it all worth it. And if they asked me I’d do it again in a heartbeat.’  

Sabreena, a property manager who is mother to four children of her own, is one of five sisters.

And, after Shane came out as gay in at 16, they all agreed they would be a surrogate if they could.
