Your doctor will give you a packet that needs to be filled out. You (the mother) will need to fill out the following forms included in your packet:
- Informed Consent
- Donor Information and Health History
The Informed Consent is a simple one page form that needs to be read and then signed by the Donor and a witness. The next form is a series of over 80 questions that need to be answered. These questions cover basic health questions as well as travel information and family health questions. The FDA has very strick guidelines regarding donation of these tissues.
