Adopting internationally :) just a couple questions

We are in the process of adopting internationally. Kyrgyzstan is the country. They have very young babies, our son will likely be less than 6 months old when we bring him home.

I have 3 bio kids. DD nursed until she was 18 months old, and my two boys weaned themselves at 11 months. I have never had any problem with milk supply, you could say I was a cow

I have thought about nursing the new baby, but am worried about the time required to get a 6 month old to latch on correctly on top of caring for my other 3 kids. The kids will be 9, 4.5, and about 2 when the baby comes home.

We are looking at bringing the baby home in Dec/Jan probably. What do I need to do to prepare to nurse him?

Thanks,
Karla
