Our Team
Yifat Shaltiel, Esq.
Yifat Shaltiel, Founder of Surrogate Steps’, has specialized in the field of reproductive law since 2010 and has led Surrogate Steps since 2013.
Yifat’s passion for helping couples and individuals become parents and build their families through surrogacy stems from her own struggles to grow her family and her eventual use of advanced reproductive technologies to become the mother of two beautiful children.
Yifat’s legal background in litigating high-profile crimes and special training in assessing the credentials and credibility of individuals enables Surrogate Steps to secure only the most qualified gestational carriers for our program.
What Makes Us Special
- Credible
In an unregulated industry, it pays to work with a licensed agency (NYS Department of Health License Number GS211010) and an attorney-directed agency that is obligated by law to uphold fair and ethical business practices.
- Personal
Each and every one of our staff members has been a surrogate on multiple occasions, some as many as four times. With that comes a deep understanding, knowledge, and empathy to guide our surrogates and parents every step of the way.
- Comprehensive
We work together with a team of specialists nationally and internationally, including attorneys, psychologists, and social workers, to guide you every step of the way throughout your surrogacy journey.
