My Story

Like many expecting mothers, I believed that once you BANK YOUR BABY'S CORD with a public bank I would have full access to the cord if my family needed it and it was still available. After simple research and questions that I should have asked prior to delivery I found out a few surprising details.

• It is FREE to BANK YOUR BABY'S CORD with a public bank, BUT the majority is still tossed into medical waste even though you are giving it up for free.
• You will never get your own cord back but can possibly get a match that you are in need of.
• It is NOT FREE to receive the cord blood that you gave for free. You will be on a long wait list and at the end pay about $35,000.00 to have access to the cord (not your own child’s cord) that you will be in desperate need of in a life threatening situation.

Many moms have not done the research and think that once you give the cord for free you can have access to it for free. I know that if more moms were informed about the cost of approx $35k we would have considered banking privately with ViaCord for approx $2k (with a fee of ONLY $125 a YEAR to keep it maintained). For these reasons I joined ViaCord’s Parent Educator Network. I believe so strongly in cord blood banking and wanted to educate expecting families of the power and potential of cord blood preservation. My goal is to help families make an informed decision about this one-time opportunity as well as raise awareness for cord blood banking and provide expectant parents with accurate, objective information.
