Current options to find surrogates and intended parents without the help of an agency include Facebook matching groups and surromomsonline.com.
Neither of these options screen their applicant pool, which means that the chances that you invest your time and resources on someone who either doesn’t fit the surrogate criteria or is not fully committed to paying for a surrogate is high.
This is where The Biggest Ask comes in.

First, let’s talk about what we are not – we are not an agency! Agencies come with a lot of benefits – they are responsible for screening their surrogates and intended parents and matching them. When you sign up with an agency, it is their responsibility to find you a match and to help manage the journey from beginning to end.
While this all sounds nice, it all comes at an extremely hefty price tag to the intended parents– the average agency fee in the US is $23,000 – which never includes surrogate compensation, which on average is about $35,000.
This is where The Biggest Ask comes in – we want to provide an agency feel, but without the agency fee.
