Umbilical Cord Blood Donation

I tried and tried! There is a national company that will send you a kit for collection and then has a courier come get it. Cryobanks international: www.cryo-intl.com. Unfortunately for me, they decided they didn't want my donation. I don't know why, they didn't say. Perhaps my age? (39) It was a lot of paperwork for nothing, but would have been worth it if they had accepted it. Evidently they only accept about 50% of applicants and then only about 50% of those once collected. I tried with my first pregnancy, but they also won't accept blood from twin pregnancies - even if they are fraternal. Good luck.

CordBlood will take it it will have to be shipped air to them, here is their contact info.

L., That is great that you want to donate you cord blood! I will be honest, I can't remember the name but I believe there is a place on the North Shore that takes it. Ask your Doctor, they may know. Good Luck!!!

L.,
I just found the bank I tried to deal with during my first pregnancy. It's cryobanks international. You can print their "application" directly from the internet (www.cryo-intl.com) and then go from there. With my first, I didn't have enough cord blood for a successful donation. I'm hoping to have enough this go around.
