I'm sorry I gave you that fear..... To me, breastfeeding is a deal breaker. If you used a kind of diaper I didn't like, well that is my problem. Something HUGE though, like breastfeeding, that would have made me change my mind. Know why? Because I did ask my child's adoptive mom and she knew I didn't like it. If she would have taken him home and breastfed him after she told me she didn't plan on that.... can you see that?
I think you need to think about what you consider the BIG things that you really care about. Chances are an expectant parent thinks those are really important too. So talk about them. I'll be honest, agencies and attorneys don't always give the best advice about what to discuss.
You have to understand too that I am adopted and I have been active in adoption reform for quite awhile. I knew what I wanted for my son and I made sure that I matched with people that wanted those things too.

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.
