ACERCA DE LA ABOGADA MARLA NEUFELD
Marla forma parte de la estadística que indica que una de cada seis parejas en edad fértil se enfrenta con infertilidad. Ella experimentó su propia historia de infertilidad durante más de cuatro años y finalmente tuvo éxito al conseguir su madre substituta (alquiler de vientre) embarazada y de esta manera dar a luz a gemelos en forma segura.
Después de haber seguido la trayectoria personal de Marla con respecto a su infertilidad y habiendo hecho uso de una madre substituta (alquiler de vientre), ella es capaz de combinar su antecedente personal como abogada con su compasión y comprensión acerca de este proceso, ayudando así a otros a formar una familia utilizando las tecnologías reproductivas disponibles mediante terceros y las leyes de adopción en la Florida.
Marla tiene el honor de representar a parejas casadas, personas individuales y parejas del mismo sexo en la Florida que están en busca de utilizar diversas tecnologías reproductivas. Ella trata a cada cliente teniendo en cuenta su propia experiencia y estando susceptible al hecho de que la tecnología reproductiva y el proceso de adopción pueden ser intimidantes, agobiantes y con muchos obstáculos, con los cuales ella puede ayudar a guiar a sus clientes.
Entre otras organizaciones, Neufeld está orgullosamente involucrada con Men Having Babies Association ofreciendo asesoramiento legal a hombres homosexuales con dificultades financieras, March of Dimes, Uprooted (una respuesta a la religión judía con respecto a la infertilidad), y Our Fund, organización sin fines de lucro enfocada en mejorar otras organizaciones sin fines de lucro que se enfocan en asuntos relacionados con la comunidad LGBTQ (comunidad de lesbianas, homosexuales, bisexuales, transexuales e indecisos).
Marla es también la coautora del libro publicado por el Colegio Americano de Abogados, The ABA Guide to Assisted Reproduction: Techniques, Legal Issues, and Pathways to Success (Guía del Colegio Americano de Abogados para la Reproducción Asistida: Cuestiones Jurídicas, y Caminos hacia el Éxito), el cual está disponible para la venta HACIENDO UN CLIC AQUÍ. Esta Guía para la Reproducción Asistida explica las opciones de ART disponibles (ART: Técnicas de Reproducción Asistida); el proceso para elegir un prestatario médico y un representante legal; comprender y celebrar acuerdos adecuados; y los problemas específicos que pueden surgir antes y después del nacimiento. Escrito por el abogado Jeffrey Kasky, quien ha prestado el servicio de maternidad substituta por varios años, el libro ayudará a desmitificar la tecnología y brindar a los consumidores la confianza y el conocimiento necesarios para lograr su objetivo de paternidad a través del ART (ART: Técnicas de Reproducción Asistida).

"I was referred to Marla by a good friend. She had represented me so well and stood by my family and I from February 2015 until the Birth of my twin girls in October of 2016, and even after until all paperwork was finalized. It truly was the right decision to hire someone who was hands on. She was so easy to speak to, and to reach, where sometimes using other firms, you will talk to an assistant and wait for days to receive a call back on. I was so impressed and felt ease when i went through tough times - with a failed egg donor, failed surrogate, and an initial miscarriage. Marla was always there. I would recommend her wholeheartedly."
