yes i have it and highly recommend it. no matter how many kids you have you only need to bank it from one child's cord. I think of it as one way you can do something extrodinary to help save a life, if you were ever in the situation. Plus the storage fee every year is very reasonable.

I was the same...didn't do it for my son but am doing it for this baby.....I certainly hope I never have to use it, but wouldn't you just kick yourself if you did need it and didn't save it....not that's it's 100% guaranteed, but this time around, although costly, is cheap insurance in my opinion.

Same goes for me. I didn't do it for my first child and this baby i did. They told me that it is a perfect match for the child and 70% is usable for the sibling. With that we feel good about saving. I still wish I would have done it for my first.
