The Biggest Ask Surrogacy Program
Unlocking the power of social media, we pioneer a unique approach to surrogacy that's not only affordable but also deeply personal. We honor intended parents by sharing their story with respect, bringing to light the essence of who they are. This compassionate approach not only allows us to connect with the ideal surrogate for intended parents, but it also empowers us to offer our services at a significantly lower cost than traditional agencies.
Members who found their match through The Biggest Ask
At The Biggest Ask, we bring together the best of traditional surrogacy services and social media’s expansive reach. We’re here to complement your independent surrogacy journey, providing essential support without the high costs of typical agencies. Our à la carte services are tailored to your individual needs, including thorough surrogate screening, matching within our community, and ongoing guidance and support throughout your journey.
Here are our 3 main services:
Surrogate pre-screening ($500): A thorough assessment of a potential surrogate, exploring her medical history, financial stability, and engaging in discussions around key terms within the surrogacy contract.
Guidance and Support ($1,000): Through a combination of text-based communication, our customized app and virtual meetings, we offer a personalized and accessible service that guides and supports intended parents and surrogates throughout the whole pregnancy.
Matching + Support All-Inclusive Package ($5,000): This is our most comprehensive service. We will help our intended parents find a surrogate who meets the ASRM guidelines and provide guidance and support throughout the entire journey.
Click here for more details about our packages and our terms for matching. Please note that given the nature of our program, we can only work with intended parents who seek a close relationship with the surrogate during the journey. While we completely understand why some IPs need a more hands-off approach, the affordable nature of our services doesn’t accommodate such relationships.
What makes us stand out?

Open text line for IPs and surrogates to get the support they need no matter what time of the day.
Custom technology
Our custom app helps us manage your journey and helps you get to know your surrogacy partner better.

Already found your surrogacy partner? Here's why you still need us
Intended Parents:
Asking a woman to carry your baby is the biggest ask (no pun intended). Asking her to do it without involving a surrogacy agency – well is quite another big ask. When you request an independent journey, keep in mind that you are asking your surrogate to forgo third party support and guidance during an incredibly intimate and sometimes difficult experience. Our program resolves that issue by being that third-party support for not only your surrogate but also for you. To help seal the deal with your future surrogate, tell her that you will be using our program!
Surrogates:
We know that you are motivated to help ease the burden of your chosen intended parents and help complete their family. The last thing you want to ask them to do is pay an extra $25,000 for the guidance and help of a surrogacy agency, but you also want to protect yourself and your family from any unforeseen circumstances and have a place for support in case something scary happens. That’s why we are here. For only $1,500 (which your IPs pay for), you, your family and your intended parents will have all the support you need for your journey. Ask your IPs to sign up for the program for that necessary support!

Why choose The Biggest Ask?
For the past 3 years, The Biggest Ask has grown our surrogacy community from 0 to 7,000 (and growing) members (come join us on Instagram). The Biggest Ask has connected with hundreds of intended parents, surrogates, and surrogacy professionals and we have become the most trusted name in surrogacy. We have made it our full time job to ask every question possible regarding surrogacy and learn all the ins and outs of the surrogacy industry in the USA.
Using this knowledge, we have created our full service program. Unlike other agencies or services that have been around for years, we have started our organization fresh, with very limited unnecessary overhead and invested in technology to pass down the savings to intended parents.
Still not convinced? Join us during our free weekly surrogacy support calls. Tuesdays are for intended parents and Wednesdays are for surrogates.

Frequently asked questions
While we are not an agency, we provide the same comprehensive services. One reason for our lower fees is our status as a boutique agency with a small team, allowing us to focus on serving only a limited number of clients at a time. Additionally, our fees are lower because we have spent years developing a vibrant surrogacy community on Instagram through free education and awareness initiatives. By leveraging this community, we are able to match our Intended Parents more effectively. Finally, we are fairly selective in which Intended Parents we work with. Since we match within our community, we can only work with Intended Parents who are willing to share their story publicly.
Absolutely! MJ has written a surrogacy guide available for $10 on Amazon. She also offers free online videos about the process that is available to everyone. Learn more here.
MJ and Ashley also host a free support call for IPs and surrogates, separately, every Tuesday (IPs) and Wednesday (surros). Sign up here to get the zoom link (support calls are audio based).
Our full-service fee of $5,000 is divided into three payment milestones to align with key stages of your surrogacy journey. Upon initial sign-up, a payment of $2,500 is due. Once the embryo transfer is scheduled, a $1,500 payment is required. Finally, at the confirmation of a heartbeat, the remaining $1,000 becomes due. In the event that we are unable to find a suitable match for you within three months, we will refund $2,000 of the initial $2,500, allowing you to explore other options.
If you already have a surrogate and wish to utilize our contract negotiation and/or guidance and support services, please note that both of these fees are fully refundable in the event that you are not satisfied with our performance.
