Any cord blood bankers out there?

Anyone banking their baby's cord blood?  If so, what company are you using?  Or, are you donating it to a public bank?

    I tried to donate to Arkansas Cord Blood Bank, but they aren't open yet. They ask that you make arrangements to donate before 34wks. Something I wish I had known.

    We are donating it through our local blood bank. They make it really easy to do, which I appreciated.

    FYI: If you are doing to donate, you can not have tattoos. If you have tattoos you can NOT donate.

    I think we are going to bank with Viacord.

    We used Viacord with the first baby and will use it with this one too.  :)  It was really a simple process.

    The one we're donating to only has this rules if the tattoos are within the last 12 months.

    We did the public bank of NY (the bank that is attached to our hospital).  The hospital we delivered in is one of the only ones in the area that collect for the public bank.  I figured it couldn't hurt anything and it was free so....
