Cord Blood Banking Info for Grandparents

Hi,

Did you know that you can give a financial gift to your grandchildren even before they are born?

Preparing to become Grandparents is an exciting time! Finally you can enjoy all the perks of a new baby while your kids deal with the nitty-gritty parenting issues.

Veteran parents, find themselves answering questions that their kids have about necessary preparations (especially if it’s their first baby).

The question of cord blood banking may have come up. Perhaps they can’t afford it, or maybe they aren’t sure that it is worth the investment.

Maybe the grandparents are thinking of providing this insurance for the Grandchild. Maze Cord Blood Bank would like to help. They are offering a special discount of $200 off just for Grandparents.

All you have to do is use this coupon code: Grand200B when registering.

Yours,

My wife and I cover the fees for our 5 grandchildren for school sports, music and dance lessons, etc. I can remember not being able to participate as a child due to lack of money,(too many mouths to feed, and too many dollars over the bar). We also let the grand kids earn money by doing chores when they visit, and try to instill the wisdom of saving a percentage of whatever they earn, for long term as well as short term goals.

The older ones have already figured out the Grandma & Grandpa would not be able to pay for these things if they hadn't practiced what they preach.
