The Importance of Birth Tissue Donation
Parents who are expecting a new baby understand the miracle that is happening in the womb. The various tissues that surround the child provide protection, nourishment, and proteins that allow the child to grow and develop.
Medical science can also use the healing properties of these birth tissues to help many other people.
After a child is born, the placenta, the umbilical cord, and the amniotic fluid are all useful in a variety of clinical applications. The unique properties in these tissues accelerate the healing process for those who may otherwise suffer from debilitating wounds or prolonged surgical recovery.
At TriForLife Birth Tissue Recovery Group, we offer parents the opportunity to donate their baby’s birth tissue as a way of sharing their miracle with others.

Our Donors
If you are an expectant mother scheduled to deliver in a participating hospital, you may be eligible to donate your placenta. At TriForLife Birth Tissue Recovery Groups, we would like to help you provide others with the gift of healing. As long as you have no disqualifying medical conditions, we will accept your donation.
The recovery process takes place after your child is born. The donation process is safe for you and your baby and there is no cost to you or your family for the donation.
The Donation Process
- Discuss your decision to donate your placenta with your physician. We will work with your medical team to make the donation a success.
- Sign a formal consent form document giving permission for the donation and recovery of the placenta once your child is born.
- Complete a confidential questionnaire regarding your medical and social history, which we will use only for medical purposes pertaining to the recovery and use of the placenta.
- On the day of your baby’s arrival, a TriForLife donation coordinator will be on-site in the Birthing Center to coordinate the donation of your placenta. Your decision to donate birth tissue will not interfere with your birthing plan.
- After your baby’s delivery, a TriForLife recovery specialist will work with the delivery team to recover your placenta. You will have no other obligations or requirements.
Why Donate?
- Placental tissue has multiple components that promote healing and reduce the risk of infection.
- Doctors use the amniotic membrane, which comprises the innermost layer of the placenta, in a wide range of procedures including eye injuries, oragl surgeries, spine surgeries, and for the treatment of difficult-to-heal wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, venous leg ulcers, pressure ulcers, and burns.
- Too often these miraculous tissues are discarded as medical waste.
- TriForLife Birth Tissue Recovery Group is offering you the opportunity to share your miracle and give the gift of hope and healing change to others.

About Birth Tissue Donation
While many mothers grasp the gift they hold when their children are born, few understand the treasure that remains in the placenta, umbilical cord, and amniotic fluid. These tissues once protected and nourished the baby in the womb. Now they can provide healing and health to many who are sufferng.
The miraculous properties in birth tissue can promote the body’s own healing process and potentially offer fewer negative side effects, such as swelling and scarring.
At TriForLife Birth Tissue Recovery Group, we not only recover these miraculous gifts from mothers who donate them, but we also strive to educate people about the benefits of birth tissue. When they realize the benefits they can provide for others, many mothers happily donate their birth tissue.
