I spoke to my cousin who is going to be adopting. She asked about
breastfeeding and how can she produce milk. There is a lot of
information online, but I was hoping to hear from someone who had
actually done it and how they went about it. How difficult was it?
http://adoptivebreastfeeding.wordpress.com/ is the blog of someone
who's currently in the process of lactating for her upcoming adoption.
I don't know your cousin's situation, but this woman has already
breastfed once and is therefore relactating, which makes things
automatically easier for her; and she is adopting an older baby, so
she's presumably going to end up EPing rather than nursing. I don't
know how those factors compare to your cousin's case. However, she
might find it an interesting read.
All the best,
Sarah
