Cord Blood Doantions?? What is the process and the cost?

Question

*Donations.....sorry typo.

Answer 1

The National Marrow Donor Program has a list of public cord blood banks on their website. www.marrow.org. Once the blood is donated, it loses all identifying information after a short period of initial testing, so that families will not be able to retrieve their blood later. Private banking allows families to preserve their blood for their own use. For-profit private banks charge a fee of around $2000 to preserve a newborn’s cord blood for possible use by the family later.
