The high cost of surrogacy, an increasingly popular option for couples looking to expand their families biologically, has led some prospective same-sex parents to turn to crowdfunding. Kyle and Jack Maurelli, a gay couple living in New York state, began a GoFundMe campaign in July after their insurance company told them they didn’t qualify for the infertility coverage necessary to cover the cost of an embryo transplant.
” On the state’s website, infertility is defined, in part, as “the incapacity to impregnate another person or to conceive, due to the failure to establish a clinical pregnancy after 12 months of regular, unprotected sexual intercourse or therapeutic donor insemination, or after six months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse or therapeutic donor insemination for an individual who can conceive at 35 years of age or older.” This would not apply to male same-sex couples.
