Potential of stem cells
"We just wanted to tell you how thankful we are you are there. I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a little over a year after my daughter was born. When I found out I was pregnant, we knew cord blood banking was essential to the future health of our family. We know the potential of stem cells in treating multiple sclerosis and other diseases is promising to say the least. We can rest easier knowing that potential waits for my son, his siblings, or even me, if we need it. Thank you."

Medical history
"We banked cord blood because of the potential it has of saving my daughter's life if she should ever need it. Also, because my wife and I can possibly use it, is only more reason to bank cord blood. Because my father was adopted, we do not know what medical history we have."
