Public Cord Blood Donation

Does anyone know how I can find an organization to donate the cord blood to?

Thanks!

    Google it or call your hospital to see if it is affiliated with a cord bank program.

  • Here is an article from the National Marrow Donor Program. I'm researching it now, trying to find out if I can donate even though my hospital doesn't participate.

     

    EDIT: Nope, I can't. The closest bank too far away. The joys of living in Bumpkinville.

  • I would call your hospital or ask your OB.  The organizations typically vary by state.

  • I'm donating to MD Anderson in Houston.  But you have to register by 34wks.  My local hospital doesn't do cord blood banking.
  • I'm able to donate to the Red Cross here in Michigan. Check with your dr and see what recommendations he/she has.
