Surrogacy Tracking & Engagement Platform Software

About Us

Our Mission

Our mission is to empower surrogacy agencies through STEPS—a fully customizable software platform built exclusively to manage, track, and streamline every journey from first inquiry to final delivery.

 

STEPS stands for Surrogacy Tracking & Engagement Platform Software — a name that reflects exactly what it delivers.

 

Unlike subscription-based platforms,  STEPS is 100% owned by your agency.  You control the software, the data, and how it works for your team.

STEPS is designed to:

  • Streamline operations and automate repetitive administrative tasks

  • Empower your team to focus on building strong, trusted relationships

  • Reduce errors and miscommunication through centralized case tracking

  • Support your agency’s growth with smart, scalable tools

  • Adapt to your unique workflows, branding, and business structure

  • Ensure complete privacy—only your staff has access to your information. No one outside your agency can view it

  • Create a full activity timeline for every record, logging each update, change, and action taken — giving you a complete history of each case at a gance.

Plus, STEPS includes powerful built-in features to save time and simplify your work:

  • View all emails directly within each client’s record—no more searching for correspondence

  • Tools to streamline case workflows and make tracking effortless

  • Automate emails to follow up with surrogates who haven’t responded, or to confirm application receipt

  • Trigger simple tasks automatically, like requesting driver’s licenses, Social Security cards, or pay stubs

  • Tracks exactly who received which profile and how many each surrogate or intended parent has reviewed, with all activity automatically logged for easy reference

  • Instantly generate surrogate profiles from existing data—ready to send to intended parents for review

  • Schedule and automate helpful tips, appointment reminders, and birthday messages throughout the pregnancy journey.

 

And so much more!

 

Automate

Our real-life evidence has shown that you get significantly more work done by automating repetitive tasks. 

Update the Status of a case

When a GC stage is updated to “Approved”, automatically send an email requesting her driver’s license, insurance card and lost wages.

Automatic Reminders

When a pregnancy enters the 2nd trimester, an auto alert reminds staff to evaluate Escrow

We Keep It Simple

When a surrogate or intended parent submits a form, their record is automatically updated.

Your Dream. Our Mission.

Karen Synesiou

As the owner and manager of a renowned surrogacy and egg donor agency for over 30 years, Karen set the industry standard, serving as the blueprint for subsequent agencies.  From the beginning, Karen prioritized the child’s right to know their genetic origins and encouraged contact between the intended parents and their egg donor.   Notably, her agency facilitated the birth of the world’s oldest child, born through surrogacy, to a gay couple.  Karen sold her egg donor agency in 2004 and her surrogacy agency in 2019. Her commitment to the field continues, and she now consults and assists growing agencies in improving their processes and efficiency, as well as speaking at various national and international conferences.
