We had a really great experience with Pinnacle Surrogacy from start to finish. The whole process of surrogacy can be overwhelming, and Pinnacle and its team (shoutout to Kellie!) were overly communicative, friendly, reassuring and very helpful in making sure everything was taken care of. They really made my wife and I feel comfortable and confident that things were all moving in the right direction. From the very beginning of matching with the surrogate, to the financials, to appointment updates with our surrogate, deadlines and paperwork, we look back and are extremely pleased with the work Pinnacle did to help grow our family. We highly recommend using them for any intended parents and have nothing but positive things to say about our experience! What a wild ride and we appreciate all of Pinnacle’s hand holding to get us there! Thank you forever!
View on Google (opens in a new tab)My experience as a surrogate with Pinnacle Surrogacy was truly one I’ll always remember. While my pregnancy wasn’t easy and came with complication after complication, ultimately leading to an early delivery by C-section, I never felt alone throughout the journey. My Pinnacle team was always there to support me, answer my questions, and check in on me every step of the way. Their kindness, compassion, and dedication made a difficult pregnancy much easier to navigate. The intended parents, despite living all the way in Germany, were incredibly supportive. They constantly reached out with texts, phone calls, prayers, and words of encouragement. Their love and appreciation meant so much to me, and I’m so grateful to have shared this journey with them. A very special thank you to Kellie, Paige, and the intended parents for their unwavering support, encouragement, kindness, and compassion throughout this entire journey. Your constant check-ins, prayers, reassuring words, and genuine care helped me through some of the hardest moments of my pregnancy. I will always be grateful for everything you did for me, and each of you will forever hold a special place in my heart. I also couldn’t have done this without my husband. He stood by my side through every appointment, every complication, every scary moment, and every milestone. His love and unwavering support carried me through the hardest days. Although the pregnancy was challenging, I wouldn’t trade the experience or the amazing people I met along the way. I am incredibly thankful to Pinnacle Surrogacy, Kellie, Paige, the intended parents, and everyone who supported me throughout this unforgettable journey. Thank you for making me feel cared for, supported, and appreciated every step of the way.
