I'm on a roll, I just found out last week that Arkansas now has a Cord Blood Donation Bank!
When we had Will, we looked into private banking, but it's just sooo expensive! And who knows if you'll ever even need it, and when do you make the decision to stop payments and wash it down the sink?? At that point there was no public bank you could donate to. We wondered why...
But now, little ol' Arkansas has their own donation bank right here in Little Rock! Once they get enough donations they'll be linked to the national donation bank. And it's free, so if you need it, it's there waiting, but if someone else can use it, it could save a life of a stranger!
To learn more, go here!!
Hmm... I'm curious about other states. Are you doing that with your little girl's cord blood?
ReplyDeleteIf AR has it, I would be shocked if *most* other states didn't! Esp TN! But to answer your question, yes, we are planning on going this route. I downloaded the forms last night, I just have to fill them out, like 3 for me and 1 for my OB. Then they review them and as long as there's no medical objection we will proceed! I'm thrilled about the whole thing :)
