Are there other Cord Blood Banking sites, other than CBR?
I know that is the most popular, I was just wondering... if there are any other companies I can check out.

Re: Are there other Cord Blood Banking sites, other than CBR?
I ended up registering with CBR, but there are plenty of others... (we chose CBR becuase they do a lot of research and have strong track records (like viacord). they also gave me a medical professional discount  , which definitely sweetened the deal!
You should really read-up on the dozens of companies out there for yourself. some have been around longer and have a stronger track record than others... Undeniably, viacord and CBR have the most marketing $$$'s. Viacord advertises EVERYWHERE.... even on my lamaze DVD  . Just because they paid off all of the physicians doesn't make a company good, so I checked them out along with everyone else on an unbiased website.....
Here is a non-profit site that has lists of all private and public banks, and the pros/cons of each.....
hope this helps!

Re: Are there other Cord Blood Banking sites, other than CBR?
When I was looking, it seemed like Viacord was most popular and CBR was the next most popular. I tried to do a lot of research but it came down to where DH and I were comfortable. I would have gone with either CBR or Viacord but we ruled out all the others for various reasons. We went with Viacord.

We used cryocell for our daughter and are using it for our son due in Sept. My sister has used cryocell with her 3 children.
They do alot of research and their costs are less then viacord or the other larger names.
The whole process was very easy.
