My at risk daughter and her husband are about to have their first child. They want to bank the cord blood but wanted me to ask if anyone in this community has done that recently and has an opinion about which banking factility to use. I guess there are a few out there. Is there a bank associated with or endorsed by those in our HD world?

Hi Laura,
I used Cord Blood Registry in California I think. I can send you the information, and if you use my name, I get one year storage for free .

I posted information on this before....

You can talk them down on price, that is most important

Thanks Maria. I would like to get that inforamtion about the bank you use.

New question. The enrollment form reads like an insurance application asking for family medical history, and genetic history in particular. The privacy policies seem good, but are all banking enrollments the same? Is there any concern about listing HD or should they find one that doesn't ask?
