I saw in a post below that you found some local places that will accept donated cord blood... could you share? My DH and I decided this week that we would like to donate it, but don't know where to begin! Thanks for anything you can share!
we are donating to ITxM clinical services in Glenview
I know
they have a site but I don't think I have it. But I would sign up
asap cuz I think it takes about 6 weeks to get the kit. i just got mine
and signed up in August?
Married on 3.20.2004. It took 30 month, 2 failed adoptions and IVF for our first miracle. We have had 9 foster kids since he was born and started the domestic adoption process when he was 10 month old, we had 4 failed matches in that time. After our daughter was born we brought her home and spent 2 weeks fearing we might lose her because of complications that came up. But Praise God all went through and she is ours forever! Expecting again after IVF
