Guest guest Posted September 5, 2005 Report Share Posted September 5, 2005 Unfortunately, Viacord is a private cord blood banking company. They make money off of storage and the public does NOT have access to this privately stored cord blood. And it's extremely unlikely that a particular family who pays thousands of dollars to store this will ever need it, while others who DO need it now can't access it. Same with Cord Blood Registry, also a private company. I had a private cord blood company that wanted to advertise on my site and I turned them down. They were extremely rude when I told them I opposed the concept of private cord blood banking.

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 -My Apraxia/CP daughter has a confirmed genetic deformity. The only cord blood tested was my ds born 3years after her to make sure he did not have the same deformity. That was the Genetics at Columbia that had it tested. He is fine.
