Hi,
I haven't been on here in awhile. We're kind of in the "limbo" stage of the adoption. Hubby gets 3 paychecks this month and one pays the amount of the homestudy 100% so we're waiting for that at the end of the month. Once that comes in we'll be sending in our app and homestudy fee and then everything will get rolling. Until then I had started research and I discovered, I CAN BREASTFEED!!
This totally blew my mind!! I've been real upset about not being able to do anything for the baby that is from "ME" specifically and this is the answer I've been praying for!! The baby WILL need me, we WILL bond and get close-yea!!
My question, for anyone that has done this is, how in the world do I start producing milk?? Everything I lookd at on-line was more and more confusing. Do you take a pill?? One site almost made it seem that you just started pumping and eventually milk would come- do you hook a machine up to you that feeds milk through to the baby if you don't produce enough? I'm a little confused on this so if someone could help me out I would appreciate it very much!
We're really ready to get going on this and hubby has started telling more and more people about it, which means he's getting more warmed up to the idea too! It's going to be SO NICE to come to the end of trying to start a family and finally have one!
Thanks for your help!
