Stem cells which are known to be the main constituents of the “hematopoietic system”; produce numerous blood cells which are present in our body. Blood cells are produced from early to adult stages in the red bone marrow. Such adult blood cells require continuous reinstatement which is provided to them by the stem cells. Differentiated cells are processed as a specific kind of blood cell. Other cell type is the pluri-potent stem cell for which researchers have recently found put some sources in the placenta, bone marrow and the umbilical cord. Such pluripotent cells get an identity under particular condition whether it is a platelet, red blood cell, white blood cell. Today cord blood bank is managed by private organizations or individuals. The private banks store Cord Blood irrespective of any medical reasons. The collection and the storage of cord blood is chargeable whereas in public banks it is free of charge.

The disadvantage of such cord blood bank which is public is that this it will not be certain that donor will get blood whenever they need it. Finding appropriate HLA type match from several samples which are donated is difficult. The match of the sample which is referred to, will be required. A closer match between the donor’s and recipient’s HLA antigen would mean body’s chance of acceptance of new cell is better. Increasingly, today cord blood is used as source of stem cells, as surrogate to bone marrow. Most such transplants have been performed in patients with immune system and blood diseases. Patients with digenetic and metabolic disorders have also benefitted from these transplants. Cord blood transplants with unrelated donors have found cure to several diseases.

Medical experts suggest that cells which come through cord blood have several advantages than those which are derived from the process of bone marrow. It is a known fact that stem cells which are taken from such cord blood are easier to retrieve because they can be immediately taken from placenta during birth. Surgical procedure is required to harvest stem cells through the bone marrow. It is usually undertaken with general anesthesia as it can also cause some post-surgery pain and can be real hazard to donor. Several people can benefit from such cord blood stem cells. Stem cells taken from the cord blood bank are easily available, these can also be the most beneficial for patients who are in grave pain or fatal cases of anemia, leukemia or immune deficiency who if not given cord blood immediately would die even before a match is found. Another advantage of this blood is that it contains some viruses or infectious agents, which can be highly dangerous to those receiving transplant.

To say that parenting has changed over the years would be a serious understatement. With each new generation comes new challenges, and with each solution, comes more challenges.Until the early to middle 1900’s children from poor families were pretty much cheap labor. Children from rich families were almost invisible. Wet nurses, nannies and boarding schools were popular. Anyone today who is in the middle of getting up every 2-4 hours to feed the baby, or who is enduring, I mean raising, a teen, might not look too harshly at the parents of the past.In the middle 1900’s the economy had improved, child labor laws were passed, and children were not required to do much labor, unless taking out the trash counts. Also, rich people started taking on a few parental responsibilities, mostly because of some guy named Dr. Spock, who I think was first officer aboard a starship.There was something else that changed parenting; the invention of television. Now parents didn’t have to communicate with or entertain their children at all. The family could sit around and watch blurry black and white images and feel like they had just spent quality time together. Eventually, parents started realizing that watching situation comedies wasn’t quality time, especially with a television in every room. Weekend camping trips, summer vacations and mini vans became popular. Parents fondly remembered the vacations they took as children, and wondered why those vacations were so infrequent. About 20 miles down the road, the memories came flooding back; are we there yet, I have to go to the bathroom, I think I’m going to throw up, all emerged from the back seat. Then, when it seemed like family trips would be a thing of the past, two new inventions were born; the portable DVD player and lap top computer. The world became a better place. Long trips could be managed without one complaint from the back seat, and best of all, the family would be together, arriving at the destination relaxed and ready to enjoy quality time.We were then blessed with yet another popular invention; the cell phone, which led to the iPod, I Phone, and devices that are currently being invented, produced and out dated as this is written.Today, families can spend an entire vacation together without speaking to each other. When it is time to eat, we can text our children, even if they are sitting next to us. This will assure that they get the message, since they probably are not listening.Technology is not through with us yet. There are future inventions we can only dream of, and if you do dream of one, please let me in on it. I can use an extra billion dollars.

I love being around kids, and I love being around my own kids even more.  But as they get older, I’m starting to see in the not too distant future a time when I won’t be able to do that as much as I would like to.  They’ll head off to college, have families and careers of their own, and won’t have the time to spend with their “old man”.  It’s part of life, and I understand that, but if your like me, and still feel you still have something to give to a young person, than maybe fostering would be an option for you.   There are some good fostering agencies out there that can help you decide by providing you with more information to help make a decision.  I know the time commitment can be huge, but conversely the rewards can be equally rewarding.

If your not sure that being a foster parent is the right thing for you at this point in your life, then perhaps form F assessors is something you should consider.  Deciding who are the right foster parents for the right children is an essential part of the process.  It can make the difference between success and failure for what is potentially already a difficult situation.  While it doesn’t have the same intense day to day feeling of living within a foster family environment, without good matching of parent to child, the whole process would fall apart.

While my kids are not quite ready to leave Mom and Dad all alone, it’s something I do consider these days.  And not with utter trepidation, since I know there are alternatives out there that can fill the needs of both an experienced parent and a blossoming child.
