Looking at a few different Private companies but not sure who to go with. There are so many to choose from! Has any one picked where your going to store you babies cord blood?

  • We went with Viacord. I honestly didn't check anywhere else. They were willing to give us one year of storage of free plus free start up fees (my oldest daughter is a leukemia survivor).

    @amark11 unfortunately there is no search bar on the app. I've done plenty of research but I'm asking what private companies people are using. Not info on banking. Thanks for all the links though.
  • There IS a search bar on the app. I use it myself. It's at the bottom of the screen. Please use it.

    @hoosonfirst thanks for your comment. As I said I'm not interested in delayed clamping or public banking. I'm asking for specifics in who people are signed up with. The other posts talk more about opinions on different options. If you have decided to use a specific private cord blood bank company I would love hear who and why.
