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".

    Standard vs. Guaranteed Surrogacy Programs

    Posted by Ole on June 19, 2023 at 3:50 pm

    My husband and I have struggled with infertility for years. When we discovered surrogacy in Ukraine, a glimmer of hope appeared on our horizon.

    But now we are faced with a choice between the Standard vs. Guaranteed Surrogacy Programs offered by IVMed Family Agency in Ukraine, my heart is torn.

    The Standard Program’s affordability and flexibility appeal to our financial situation, but the Guaranteed Program’s promise of a successful outcome brings a sense of security that is hard to resist.

    I contemplate factors like our emotional readiness, the agency’s reputation, success rates, and the level of certainty we long for in this journey. What factors would you take into consideration?

    It’s a weighty decision that will shape our dreams of becoming parents, and I find myself seeking guidance and insights to help us make the right choice.

    Hi Ole. I understand your predicament. We specialize in surrogacy based in the USA and not internationally. I would be wary between Standard and Guaranteed programs in the USA as well. But the situation is made worse when surrogacy is so far away – like in Ukraine. So that makes it harder for you to assess the situation. I’m sorry we cant be more useful in this decision.

    Hey Ole. That’s our thoughts exactly! My husband and I also looked into Ukraine, but the agency suggested Cyprus. And now, we are choosing between standard and guaranteed programs. That’s a tough one. Is there any progress with your story? How are you guys?
