Hi there, neighbor!

We submitted our portfolio to our adoption agency and officially started waiting to be chosen by a birth mother on November 16, 2008. (I need to update my signature.)

I started the Yasmin/Dom protocol in mid-October and have been religiously taking it ever since. It's been 3 months now, so I feel that any time I need to stop taking the Yasmin in order to let my milk come in would be ok. We could be chosen any day, tomorrow or in several months, so we are just preparing for tomorrow and hoping for the best.

I'm on a great Yahoo listserv for adoptive breastfeeding that has been a wealth of information - those ladies are pros! If you're interested, the group is called: 1ABSupportGroup. Also, as far as the AB protocol goes, I obtained most of my information from Ask Lenore: Ask Lenore ~ Breastfeeding, but I'm sure you've already found that site.

As of right now, I don't know of an AB supportive OB/GYN. This forum doesn't get much traffic, so I would just start calling around to OB/GYN offices in your area and inquire.

Once I get closer or actually doing breastfeeding, I plan to start attending La Leche meetings locally. Maybe I'll meet you there!
