Gestational Surrogacy
Building Your Family With Gestational Surrogacy
Gestational surrogacy, often referred to simply as surrogacy, is a remarkable family-building option where a gestational carrier, also known as a surrogate, carries and gives birth to a baby for intended parents. Unlike traditional surrogacy, in gestational surrogacy, the gestational carrier is not biologically related to the child she carries. Instead, the embryo is created through in vitro fertilization (IVF) using the intended parents' genetic material or donor gametes.
At Pinnacle Fertility, we're here to help you achieve it through the incredible journey of gestational surrogacy.
Is Gestational Surrogacy Ideal for You?
Gestational surrogacy is an ideal option for individuals or couples who may be facing fertility challenges, medical conditions, or other circumstances that prevent them from carrying a pregnancy to term. It is also an excellent choice for same-sex couples or anyone seeking the joy of parenthood through a loving gestational carrier.
Pinnacle Fertility is honored to be a part of your journey to parenthood through gestational surrogacy. We are committed to providing you with the knowledge, support, and expert care you need to build the family of your dreams.
Why Choose Pinnacle Surrogacy
Pinnacle Surrogacy is a national surrogacy agency with regional presence across the United States.
Our all-inclusive services streamline your surrogacy journey and ensure a seamless and accessible experience.
Moreover, Pinnacle Surrogacy exclusively partners with clinics within the Pinnacle Fertility network. This means that you can be matched quickly with one of our medically and psychologically screened surrogates, and our team will continue to support you and your surrogate throughout the entire surrogacy process, from matching to delivery.
Selecting a Gestational Carrier
Choosing the right gestational carrier is a crucial step in your surrogacy journey. Pinnacle Fertility offers a unique advantage through Pinnacle Surrogacy, our preferred surrogacy agency. Our surrogacy directors, many of whom are experienced surrogates themselves, guide you through the process of selecting a gestational carrier who is already medically and psychologically cleared for surrogacy. This reduces the time, effort, and potential disappointments associated with matching with a surrogate who is yet to be cleared.

THEY ARE AMAZING!!! I absolutely love this clinic and everyone who works here! Being a lesbian couple, we were nervous trying to find a fertility clinic for us.. they made us feel so comfortable right away! They are so caring and sweet! I definitely recommend this place!! && Dr. Z is the man!! Nicest doctor I have ever met! I would give them a 100 stars if I could!
Thanks to Dr. Dudley, we achieved a successful pregnancy, a dream that once seemed unattainable. His expertise and empathy made him not just a doctor but a beacon of hope in our most challenging times. We are profoundly grateful to Dr. Dudley and highly recommend him to any couple facing fertility issues!
We've worked with RGI twice now, and have had an excellent experience both times. Dr. Maseelall and her team have been amazing to work with. This time around, we were introduced to the "navigators" who essentially act as a liaison between us and the doctors, which was a change from the last time we were there. We found having access to a dedicated resource - even by text message - was a huge plus.
I highly recommend Dr. Dudley! He is one of the only doctors who explained things clearly, realistically, and positively. His bedside manner is outstanding. A defining moment (without disclosing my medical history) was when I explained something to him and he responded with "I believe in a women's intuition." He believed me, ran a quick test, and pivoted the plan. I can't recommend him enough.
My husband I went to Dominion after struggling with some fertility issues and multiple miscarriages. We couldn't have made a better choice! You can tell that the staff really care about their patients and make you feel at ease. At the beginning of the process, we were feeling a bit overwhelmed, but the doctors were understanding and great at explaining each step to us along the way. We now have a healthy baby boy and we could not be more happy and grateful to Dominion Fertility!!
