I kind of have a bad taste in my mouth from this issue. Before we were matched with DD we had a face to face visit with another expectant mom who was considering our family. She was a minor and her mother was there with her. Her mother was extremely pro-breastfeeding to the point that it made it uncomfortable. She even insinuated having her daughter nurse the baby AFTER placement when they'd come to visit. There were other determining factors on top of this but needless to say we didn't accept that match. She ended up placing with another family in our agency.

If I was an emom though and considering my choices I'd want to know upfront if they were planning on breastfeeding or not.

I heard a statistic somewhere that said that only 50% of adoptive mothers that attempt to breastfeed are reasonably successful at it. Does anyone know if that's true or not?
