Cord blood registry

LynnNJLynnNJ member
in January 2017 Moms
Storing a baby's cord blood is a personal choice. The purpose of my post is not about whether to store blood or not.

I really want to know your thoughts on having a cord blood registry. In other words,  how do you feel about having people donate to your baby's cord blood registry as an optional gift?  How would you feel looking at someone else's registry and seeing that donating to their cord blood registry is an option?

I'm questioning whether it comes across too much as a charity instead of as a gift.

    If I saw that on a registry it wouldn't bother me any - but I'm very laid back as far as these things go. I wouldn't be surprised if other people thought it was weird.

    It's a super expensive gift. I'd assume that if someone wanted to give a gift that expensive, they'd personally ask you what you want.

    @ThePax89  I don't think one person would pay for the entire thing.  I think they can give money towards the collection or storage fees.

    If I saw that in a registry, it wouldn't bother me and I might consider contributing an amount of my choosing toward it. However, it is not something I would feel comfortable putting in my own registry. 

    This was literally just brought up to me by a coworker. He has it for his son, and he sent me a referral link. If I choose to go with it, both my coworker and I get a free year of storage. If anyone is considering, hopefully you know someone who already has it so you both can get a deal.

    I think it's a great idea!  Wish I thought of it!

    I think it's a cool idea, though I'm curious how you'd add something like that to a registry (this might be me just being inept at how most registries work though since we really only used Amazon for ours).

    This is probably a UO but I wouldn't do it nor would I contribute to it if I saw it on a registry.  I feel the same way about people who ask for money for their Honeymoon fund when they're creating a wedding registry.  I don't find it offensive that someone would have it on a registry but when selecting a gift for a shower I have no interest in donating cash to a luxury item.
