As Baby E's birth draws nearer, hubby and I have to make the tough decision of whether to go to the expense of banking his cord blood in case we need it in the future, or risk not having it if we need it. It's this scenario that I think every parent faces in the final trimester... especially with the stem cell research being carried out all over the world and the genetic links being found in so many disorders and diseases. Cord blood stem cells are known to treat over 75 diseases, and have been used in over 12,000 transplants worldwide
We've been looking in to the various companies that offer cord blood banking and some of their literature and sites will make your head spin. One of the sites that I like because it is more straightforward and organized is Cryo-Cell International.
Their website is clear, straight-forward and even walks you step by step through the registration process. Another great feature is that they have online customer service support that are available to chat with you instantly if you have a problem or question about their service.
Cryo-Cell also seems to be leading the way in innovations toward cord blood banking - they offer a unique Célle™ program that also protects mothers and further develops the opportunity to collect and use stem cells. They also offer money back plus guarantees that they will keep your cord blood safe - up to $50,000 if there's a mishap. If you ever need to use your cord blood they also have a program where they will pay $10,000 towards the cost of the procedure!
And best of all, when you compare prices, even with the added features that Cryo-Cell offers, they still are the most affordable, even offering monthly payment plans and other options to families who want to bank their cord blood but can't handle the expense all at once.
Cryo-Cell currently has a number of special offers, some of which end soon, but all include a free Baby Bjorn Carrier and discounts on their already great prices. Plus Cryo-Cell is a U-Promise sponsor, so a portion of your price would go back to your child's education.
Wayne and I still haven't decided whether we're going to bank E's cord blood, but it helps to have the knowledge that Cryo-Cell is a service that would more than meet our needs and expectations if we choose to enroll. If you're in a position like ours and need to make these kind of decisions I recommend that you check out Cryo-Cell.
