The Donation Process

The Donation process is safe, simple, and painless.

There is no risk to your or your baby. When you decide to donate, the normal birthing process and care for you and your newborn will not be affected. There is no cost to you as this is a charitable donation. If you decide to donate, the ability to collect and store your cord blood will not be affected. There are only 7 simple steps! See Below ♡
