Visit http://www.CordBloodDonor.org to see if there is a donation facility in your area. Unfortunately, cord blood collection for public donation can only be accommodated at specified hospitals in limited regional locations. This is primarily due to funding constraints of many public banks. In addition, many families are ineligible for donation for a variety of reasons including family health history, maternal exposure to viruses, and international travel.
