    Hello. I am a first time surrogate and giving tree has made this process so easy and enjoyable! They make sure you understand every step of the process and get back to you very quickly! They have been by far the most amazing surrogacy I could have ever imagined to be apart of!

  • Tea BarbourAug 2024Surrogate

    I have worked with a couple agencies and this was the worst of them without a doubt. They are basically harassing you for information. This is supposed to be a fun and easy process, not a stressful one. I would receive multiple texts at odd hours of the night, even though we are in the same time zone I seriously started to doubt it when I constantly received texts at 2-3 in the morning. When…

    I couldn’t be more grateful for the incredible support I consistently receive from Alaina! Her communication is not only excellent, but I’ve never felt more supported and cared for. I’m forever grateful for being paired with such an amazing coordinator!

  • Joe FreddieJoe FreddieJul 2026Intended Parent

    Alaina is the bomb.com. In fact, she was so epic at helping us with our first baby boy we asked if she could be maintained as our main POC and support for our second child, a baby girl! She is hyper responsive, and goes after the desired outcomes we need and want, without hesitation, and without moralizing around our desires. It’s been a pleasure working with Alaina; and, all the folks we…

    I am currently a surrogate with Giving Tree Surrogacy, and so far my experience has been amazing. Two days ago, I had the opportunity to confirm the baby's heartbeat, which was such a special and emotional milestone in this journey. From the very beginning, the Giving Tree team has been incredibly supportive, kind, and responsive. They have taken the time to answer my questions, check in on me,…

    I am currently a second-time surrogate, and my experience with this agency has been consistently positive. From the very beginning, communication has been clear, timely, and supportive, which has made the process feel organized and reassuring. I am 7 weeks pregnant in my current journey, and so far I have felt well-supported at every stage. My coordinator, Alaina, has been excellent—responsive,…

  • Bill LiuBill LiuMay 2026Intended Parent

    Giving Tree Surrogacy has been great with us from beginning to finish! We have interviewed at least 15 different surrogacy agencies, and Giving Tree Surrogacy was one of the top ones on our list. I have heard of stories where an agency would basically drop the ball once they get all the payments, and I was very concerned Giving Tree would be the same way. From our experience, that was far from…

    Giving Tree gave me the best couple I could have asked for. For being a first time surrogate it was truly the best experience I could have hoped for.

  • Paul ReistPaul ReistMar 2026Intended Parent

    After frustrating years of IVF we turned to surrogacy. We were feeling rather unsure about the whole thing, but with Giving Tree we were able to find a wonderful, caring, very responsible surrogate. Because of our age we were under a tight deadline, but our case manager was both knowledgeable and caring, and helped us keep on target. We have remained friends with both her and our surrogate, keeping them up to date on our son's progress. We are so grateful.

  • Micaela EscobarMicaela EscobarJan 2026Surrogate

    Giving tree was there every step of the way and always ensured to answer any questions I had and provide reassurance when needed. They made sure every step of this process had support before, during, and after delivery. Thank you Sarah for being my case manager.
