If you have the money to bank it go for it. I donated my cord blood, it takes only a few minutes and its nice to know that it will eventually help someone instead of going to the garbage.

Hopefully there will be more federal funding for this sort of thing in the near future.

It is an economic issue of the blood banks not having the money needed. Some of the umbilical cord banks that accepted donations in the past stopped due to the costs involved of storing the blood.

Were there any high risks associated with this particular birth, was there adequate time to prepare for the donation? Sorry to nitpick, I just thought any additional information you might have may help others wishing to donate get through the process.
