How could you not discuss that? I wouldn't have matched with someone that wanted to breastfeed. If you want to, fine, but I wouldn't have been comfortable with that for my child. If I found out later that was what the adoptive mother wanted, and it was pre TPR, I don't care if babe was already home, I would have had my child moved.
Not discussing that, in my opion, is tatamount to lying by omission. If you want the truth from an expectant mom she deserves the same from you.
This is the second thing you have mentioned not discussing. You need to think long and hard I think if an open domestic adoption is really for you. You can find expectant moms that have the same desires as you, but you need to talkk about them, you can't sweep things that major under the rug and not expect there to be problems later on.

First mom to the amazing Kiddo and adopted adult.
1-4-2009 Mom and I visit Kiddo despite the bad weather. He really loved the blue mittens I made him and even helped me plan my living room. Apparently Hot Wheels wallpapper is the way to go.
2-16-2009 I got a promotion, that comes with a raise. Mom and Dad are visiting and we're going to Al's for pie to celebrate.
4-27-2009 Dad surprises me with a Lady Ugly Stick (an awesome fishing rod that is pink) and a 2nd Iowa Light Artillery Battery jacket. I'm a lucky girl!
5-30-2009 Kiddo turns five. It is hard to believe he is that old already, it seems like just yesterday he was being born. I was at peace for the first time on his birthday, what a nice feeling.
6-13&14 2009 A cannon live fire in Casper WY. We got third place and I got to see Devil's Tower for the first time, it was pretty awesome.
7-4-2009 Amelia the kitten comes to live with me and Liz. Talk about jealousy, Liz will adjust though.
