As families become more educated on umbilical cord banking, they may choose to bank their baby’s cord blood and cord tissue for different reasons.  Some consider the fact that newborn stem cells are being used today to treat many life-threatening diseases.  Others are drawn to current studies evaluating various newborn stem cell types and their potential ability to heal. Parents tell us every day why they chose to bank their baby’s newborn stem cells and we thought we’d share some of their reasons and thoughts with you. The more you know, the better equipped you are to make your decision.
 
“We were happy to save our first child's cord blood and we are even happier now that CBR is keeping up with research and having the ability to store umbilical cord tissue as well for our second child. Being able to help our children medically is priceless.”  –  Shirlene R.

“This is our third time banking with CBR, each time has been easy, stress free and very professional. I will continue to recommend CBR to all of my friends and family.” –  Kristin G

“Both my spouse and I are medical professionals and would not miss the opportunity to provide for our family. We feel, although a financial investment, it is a small price to pay to save a life.”

Exclusive CBR Research

Three FDA-regulated clinical trials are underway looking at the use of a child’s own cord blood stem cells as a treatment for cerebral palsy, traumatic brain injury and hearing loss. In each of these trials, CBR has been chosen exclusively in the protocol to ensure consistency in the collection, processing, preservation and release of the cord blood stem cells.  Research like this in the scientific community provides some families with a good reason to bank with CBR.

Everyone’s story is a little different, but ultimately, each family in this entry made the decision to bank their baby’s newborn stem cells and to do so with CBR. Perhaps it’s not a simple decision but it’s one worth becoming more educated about.
