Tanmansman....definitely not the only one that feels this way! I totally get wanting to BF, but it was defintiely not for me. M's birth mom and I discussed it for about 2 seconds, and decided that M would be formula fed. M has thrived and is completely healthy. Honestly, the thought of having to take hormones and do all kinds of different things to my body to make myself "lactate" creeped me out! Again, don't mean to offend. Everyone is different...BF is for some people and its not for others; I also know quite a few people with bio children that chose not to BF because, it either didn't work out (hard time getting baby to latch on), or just flat out didn't want to. But I can completely see where birth moms would/should be made aware. Again, also depends on what kind of "open adoption" you plan on having. I believe that honesty is the best policy! ALWAYS!
