We're thinking of banking our second baby's cord blood (despite the little voice that tells me I'm being manipulated into doing so by the for-profit companies) and I see that the New England Cord Blood Bank is a bit less expensive than some others. Jamie (jd11365), you posted that it was about $1,300 for 20 years but now they're saying it's $1,800 for upfront fees plus 20 years of storage. Does that seem right to you? Quite a hike in just a couple of years.

Any general thoughts on good/bad experiences w/cord blood banking would also be appreciated. We were going to donate Jack's cord blood when he was born but there was nowhere in our state (Maryland) to do so and I think that's still the case, as far as what I can see at marrow.org.
Thanks!
