You can learn more about cordblood transplants by checking out the following link http://www.nationalcordbloodprogram.org

You can also contact:

I believe he is one of the first adults to received a cord blood transplant. His e-mail address is spraguecml@aol.com

Sarah:
I think there are cord blood txs going on at either Cleveland Clinic or Westtern Reserve Univ Hosp in OH.
If I am not mistaken, Ruby had one there.
Hope it helps.
