Hi, Julie -- There is a wikipedia entry called "Human Milk Banking in North America" that is very informative and well-referenced. This wikipedia entry is a slightly edited version of an excellent article written by Naomi Bar-Yam, and it includes some content from a great piece written by Margaret Bickmore. This entry addresses many of your questions and references several articles that might be helpful to you as well.
