To get back to the original post, something like breastfeeding is a big deal and should be disclosed by the adoptive parents. Many people don’t even know that induced breastfeeding is possible. It is not outside the realm of possibility that an expectant mother wouldn’t know to ask! I feel the same about expectant parents honestly disclosing known genetic issues and I feel the same about both sets of parents disclosing drug and alcohol usage. A lie of omission is still a lie in my opinion.

I don't see why it would have to, but haven't you seen my 2am posts??

In the spirit of the OP, the realm of possibilities are wide open with any parenting concern. I understand, like already stated, that this is a deep connection of motherhood that some simply don't want to share with another woman. Nothing wrong with it, can't deny someone her feelings on the issue. Can only accept what you're ok with and not accept those things that are not in line with your plan.
