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".

    What were some ways you felt extra supported during your surrogacy journey (whether it was from your family, your intended parents, or your agency)?

    My family was super supportive by always checking in and asking what I need, even though I am notorious for never actually asking for what I need lol.

    My IPs were amazing at having really open communication. My IM texted me daily to see how baby and I were feeling. She also spoiled me with gifts that are still so special to me. I was so lucky that my IPs live about an hour away so my IM was at every appointment. I never felt like I was alone in the journey. Even though I know she was feeling so much anxiety she always made sure I was ok.

    I felt extra supported by my surrogacy coordinator at the agency I was with. I appreciated that she made time to check in on me specifically and how I was doing outside of the surrogacy journey. Going through this process as a GC, it is so easy to feel like that’s all you are, so having someone (agency, IPs, other support person) intentionally take steps to remind you that you are a whole person outside of surrogacy was a big deal for me during my journey.
