I thought I would report back just in case somebody at ccel monitors the thread: After filling out the online form my packet arrived two days later--off to a good start. Then I start to sell the wife on the idea--being perfectly frank that half the reason of doing this is to do a little DD on the company. I get no help from the birthing class--a few folks have heard of banking cord blood, but nobody has an opinion. Her OBGYN--no opinion. The nurse who gives the tour of the birthing suites--has heard of this, but no opinion-- nobody is doing it--check with the lab to see if they will use the hit and do the maternal blood draw. One of the fellas on our birthing suite tour spoke up and offered that he works for a local biotech company--said he'd run the idea by one of their scientists--have not heard back. Part of the reason the wife is resisting this is that she freaks out at needles, and the idea of another blood draw (ccel apparently screens for disease as part of the kit) is not appealing. Well, I tried--I even tried guilt, no luck. Disappointing. Good luck CCEL longs, but at least in my little corner of the world, this cord blood banking is not catching on.
