Your <child/children’s> <bloodspots OR bloodspot samples> will be used to help us better understand how genetic and other biologic factors play a role in why some babies have birth defects. <The information on reportable infectious diseases will be used to help us better understand how an infection before or during pregnancy might play a role in why some pregnancies are affected by birth defects or other pregnancy problems.> Enclosed is a $10 gift card <for each consent> as a token of appreciation for your time and interest.
