YOUR ATTENTION, PLEASE!

The Biggest Ask forum will be carefully monitored by admin. Users may be asked to re phrase their comments or questions if it comes across as insensitive or harsh. You must be signed in to contribute. Click here to register.

There are two major rules enforced:

  1. Be respectful
    Our aim is to be a place where intended parents and surrogates can get unbiased information about surrogacy in peace. Please refrain from judging others or criticising their choices. Our admin will follow closely and delete any disrespectful comments.
  2. Respect each other's privacy
    Being part of this community requires mutual trust. Authentic and honest discussions will make this forum amazing, but many things said might be private and sensitive.

What's shared here should stay here.

How the Forum works:

  1. Users can earn points:
    • 5 points for starting a conversation that is relevant to surrogacy (limited to one question a day users can ask more questions but they just get 5 points for one)
    • Awarding 5 points for answering a question AND getting a "like". Every additional "like" the person gets earns them 1 additional point.
    • Every week, all users are awarded 5 likes to distribute as they choose. The likes don't roll over so it's just 5 likes a week that they can distribute.
  2. Once a user earns 100 points, we get notified and you'll receive a $100 amazon gift card.
  3. Getting a certain number of points will get you the rank of "experienced surrogate" or "experienced intended parent".

    Your surrogate’s medical insurance may or may not cover surrogacy pregnancies. You will need to ask her employer or her husband’s employer. If not, you will need to purchase a plan on the ACA marketplace.

    If you do have to purchase a policy, doing it during open enrollment is the most affordable but you can also purchase private plans throughout the year. We used a company called Art Risk to help us pick a plan. I highly recommend this because they make sure you get a plan that covers everything you need and eliminates a lot of the risk so there aren’t surprises down the line.

      @AliMon611 I totally agree with you on this. I can’t imagine navigating the open enrollment on my own – and I think they have a few different options for service and nothing is super crazy expensive (I think). Did you use them to do an insurance review, by chance?
