Now, I get a call saying that we are being considered for a sibling group-- a 6 month old and a 23 month old! If it goes through, I will get them this month! Now, what would happen if I need to cut this short??? I was planning on starting with a newborn, I assume I can at least give it a shot with a 6 month old?!?! HELP! Thanks!

In fact, even the 23 month old might enjoy a sippy cup full of mama's milk!! Don't give up and congrats!!!!!!! I am the mom of 2 adopted girls that are 10 1/2 months apart! It's amazing and I cherish every day with them. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> 2 beautiful adopted children through the fost/adopt system!! We were just placed with DD#1's bio-sis and we're hoping to adopt in 2007!

Definitely get yourself a lact-aid and make an appointment with a IBCLC to get a the little one to latch on. You will need the lact-aid so you can feed the baby before your milk is in. I would suggest you contact Lenore via email and get her input. Wow, how exciting!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Laurie~Craig's wife~Mom to 4 blessings nurtured at the breast CJ(24)Travis(21)Beka~adopted(9)Rab(6)

(I have 3 year old twins) So, I'm back on the wait... thanks for your replies! Looks like I'm still on the regular protocol track!
