Re: Cord Blood -- Who is doing it?

We're undecided.

The bank near us is not accepting donations, so it either has to be private banking or nothing at all.

I'm so up in the air.

Re: Cord Blood -- Who is doing it?

I am trying to find a public bank to donate it to. There doesnt seem to be anywhere in Suffolk that is "contracted for collections". The National Cord Blood program is not allowed to collect at Southside. If I was to deliver in Manhasset, I could donate but not out here. I have made a few calls about it and done alot of research online. If anyone else has better info than I have found, please pass it on to me! Thanks...

I just saw a news report on this not too long ago.

There are very few places accepting donations at this point because they are full.

Stinks, because we would totally donate, but don't know if it's actually worth it to privately bank given the likelihood of it actually helping someone in our family.
