Hi, I was (pleasantly?) surprised when I came upon the website and saw the section on breastfeeding. We plan to adopt a newborn early next year. I am 29 years old and had a total abdominal hysterectomy 2 years ago. Hence I'm experiencing menopause and all its glory and I'm on the patch for the hormones.

Now who is a candidate for breastfeeding? How is milk produced? Is it as healthy as someone who gives birth?

I would really appreciate answers to my questions and of course any other information thought to be pertinent.

Thanks!
