I have tons of resources and stuff, so let me know what you are looking for and I'll try and help,

Thank you! I have ordered a prescription of Yasim and doperamine, but am still waiting for them to arrive in the mail. I keep getting conflicting information about whether or not the medication will work and/or possibly getting into the baby's system. And I'm also not sure if I should start pumping now or not - I've read that until I actually have the baby, it won't be worth it. If I should start pumping, than is it really better that I buy the expensive electric pumps?
We are in the waiting period and have been told that a match could be as soon as a month or as long as a year, so I'm jsut not sure what the safest method for me or for baby will be. Do you have any recommendations on this front.
The last, but not least, topic I wanted to talk to someone about is how to address people who think adoptive breastfeeding is wrong or weird. Or that my milk isn't a "real" mother's breastmilk. Have you had to deal with comments or people like that?
Thank you again for any support/advice that you can give me. I really appreciate it!
