New York Surrogacy Center was created by Casey Copps DiPaola and Joe Williams, attorneys with the law firm Copps DiPaola Silverman, PLLC, which is well-known for its experience in surrogacy and other forms of assisted reproduction. Casey serves as the Director of Intended Parent Services for NYSC, and Joe serves as the Director of Surrogate Services. Casey and Joe tirelessly advocated for several years for the passage of the New York Child-Parent Security Act (CPSA), the law which legalized compensated surrogacy in New York State, and were actively involved in the drafting and revising of the legislation, as well as lobbying for its passage at the State Capitol.
