During the holiday season, the thought of giving warms the heart and makes everyone feel happy and thoughtful. There are several gifts in which we can give to people. We don’t need to know someone in order to give a gift. We can give to a child whose name may be on the Make-a-Wish Christmas tree at the local grocery store. We can send an extra Christmas gift with our children at school for the teacher to give to a child who does not have a gift for Christmas. We can donate to organizations and hospitals that need an extra pair of hands or an extra $20.00. 

Donating Cord Blood can give the same feeling. When you are pregnant you may want to consider cord blood banking. There are so many advantages of donating cord blood. Speak to your doctor to find out if your hospital participates. You can also donate cord blood if you plan on a home delivery. Your mid wife should be able to let you know if this can be done. 

There are diseases and conditions that can be treated using cord blood. It may be possible to save a life by making the decision. The cord blood you donate does not only help children with diseases and conditions it can also help adults as well.
