I did not want to pay to save my baby's cord blood.

Are there other reasons you might want to bank your baby's cord blood?

I think putting the cord blood in a private bank would be worth the cost.

The use of cord blood from public banks is increasing.

You plan to have more children, and a disease that could be treated with cord blood runs in your family.

I like the idea of banking the cord blood for the future, "just in case."

The parents have custody of the cord blood until the child is an adult.

Collecting a baby's cord blood is quick and does not cause pain.

The cost of putting the cord blood in a private bank worries me.

Except for the money, I have nothing to lose by saving my baby's cord blood.
