Cord Blood Storage

My doctor gave me a pamphlet from CBR (Cord Blood Registry), but I keep getting things in the mail from ViaCord.  Has anyone heard anything positive or negative about either of these storage facilities?

    We've decided to donate our cord blood. It just seemed like a better decision.

    We went with CBR, because that is what our doctor used most often. I felt more comfortable using a company/collection system that the doctor was familiar with.

    Do you have some details on how to do this?  I wanted to donate with DD, but my OB acted like there's no way to do that--that no one wants to pay to store cord blood for you, even if you are donating it.  I'm not sure how much info he really had on the topic.  I did hear from several people that it costs you a fee to donate, though.  Is that true?  Any info you can offer would be great!
