One of the top questions our cord blood coordinators receive is "What can cord blood be used to treat?" Many parents hear about the benefits of banking their children's cord blood, but don't know the specifics. If you are interested in what diseases cord blood treats, you can find a complete list at http://www.mazecordblood.com/cordblood-transplant.htm. This listing highlights diseases where cord blood is currently considered a standard treatment.

True North Productions in the UK is making a sensitive observational documentary about Surrogacy.
It’s for Channel 4 – a British Public Service Broadcaster – and its flagship documentary series Cutting Edge. We aim to follow surrogate mums and intended parents at different stages of their journeys: from meeting each other, to conception, to birth and the start of new family life with their baby.

My brothers and nephew recently were in an article in the Advocate. Yeah ! I'm so proud ! The article is about how they used a surrogate to have my nephew ( he is simply the most gorgeous child ). Check it out...http://www.advocate.com/issue_story_ektid55892.asp

I am a single 43yo who is looking to have a child via surrogacy. I am very new to this, so any suggestions/comments/advice that you'd like to provide would be greatly appreciated!

I have wanted a child all of my life. I am a gay man, have a steady, stable job, and feel that something is missing in my life. After a lot of sould searching, I realized that having a child is something I really want to do. I'm aware of the financial, emotional and time committments....and I'm ready. I just don't know how to go about this.

Thanks for reading!

Hi, my name is Leandra. I’m an experienced traditional surrogate and I’m available to do GS or TS. Here is an outline of what I can provide during the pregnancy and a brief description of my life, daily regiment and experience with surrogacy:

.My own health insurance
.I can provide my own vehicle transportation
.You have the option to regulate diet and daily vitamin intake during pregnancy.
.You have the option to choose exercise routines during pregnancy
.You have the option to choose lamas classes and or meditation courses.

Well only a few days until we board our airplane at 1 in the morning to take a red eye flight to MN to visit with my parter's family over the 4th of July. I am really excited for a vacation, but also always somewhat trepidacious (spelling??). Her family does not accept our relationship and has a very awkward feeling around me. They love the kids and they are glad we visit, but I am just an outsider looking in who never really fits in. I always go on these trips with the perspective that it's for my partner, for our kids, for the family, etc...and I enjoy seeing the midwest.

Hi Guys

We are off to India next week to start our surrogacy journey. We are so looking forward to it but are also fully aware of the possible (and probable) negative outcome but we are in this for the long haul and no one said it was going to be easy.

I am new to proudparenting.com but have found it really useful and hope I can chat with some of you about the whole surrogacy experience from insemination through to fatherhood (fingers crossed)

Take care

Will (and Martin)

The moment of truth finally came yesterday.. It had been two weeks since my surrogate mom got the positive result from her pregnancy blood test. Her hCG level was more than triple the average, so we were very concerned about the possibility of having triplets. Since then, I'd had the mixed emotions of joy and fear, thinking of the complications associated with the multiple pregnancies (selective reductions and all that). Though I'd waited for this positive pregnancy result for 4 years, I couldn't celebrate 100% because of this.

well i've been interested in becoming a surrogate for gay couples. i have a child of my own and would love to have more but am not at completely ready for that yet. however i am ready to help a loving couple to add to their family.

does anyone know where i should start? i would like to do gestational surrogacy....

Ok, so as of June 16th gay couples can legally wed in the state of California. I am curious about the response/reaction to this by GLBT families. Are you as parents planning to wed immediately to garner all the equal rights for your family? Are you planning a ceremony or celebration? Are you interested, but not really moving forward? Are you not interested at all?

Let me know your thoughts on the subject. Are you looking to get that legal certificate ASAP?

Surrogacy experts, parents and carriers point to Baby Mama's plot holes, and provide guidelines for a well planned surrogacy. “While this funny hit movie may contribute to making surrogacy more mainstream,” says John Weltman, “Baby Mama does not reflect reality.”

I'm wondering how kids feel about the learning they are the child of an egg donation or sperm donation. I'm sure it varies greatly, but hearing stories would be extremely helpful to me. I can't help but wonder what my child is going to feel. How intensely is he/she going to want to know who the donor was?

Well, we got the call this afternoon and we were very disappointed to learn that our surrogate is not pregnant. The doctor gave us a very low probability due to the poor quality/grade of the embryos so we tried to prepare ourselves, but we couldn't help but be hopeful. Well we're taking a breather right now to gather our thoughts, but we expect to go back to square one and try again. We've been warned that this is not uncommon, but it doesn't make it much easier knowing that. Thankfully, our surrogate is very much engaged in the process with us and has reiterated her support.
