My husband is adopted and we have no idea of his medical history. I figure I'd rather fork over the money for the banking and deal with never using it (or perhaps donating it now, thanks Daphne) than dealing with the guilt of wishing I had banked it but didn't. Kind of like an insurance policy; hope I never need it but thank goodness it's there if I do. I’m the same, that I can’t NOT do it. My husband is adopted and we have no idea of his medical history.
