I need some serious advice.

I've been doing my research on breastfeeding vs. bottle-feeding. At this point, it is medically unknown if I will be able to breastfeed due to medication I may have to be put on post-delivery for my kidney. But my questions aren't there as that is not something I can control.

My question really lies in regards to adoption.

I did not breastfeed Munchkin. On top of that my milk never came in. I had some extra soreness about two days after labor, and had been leaking colostrum for weeks before hand, but I never had my milk come in. No leaks. Nothing. It was just never there.

Was this directly related to the adoption, a random fluke that may or may not occur this time, or does it mean something is wrong with my breastfeeding ability? Does kidney function have anything to do with milk production?

I ask these questions here because I'm afraid to ask them in any other pregnancy community. I've been shunned a lot. *shrugs* So, anyone who parented and breastfed a baby post-placement, please help a really, really overwhelmed Mom out.
