Hi, again I agree-if a mother is perceiving a less-than-supportive aspect to her efforts toward adoptive nursing--for whatever reasons-- it would be a useful thing for whoever is talking with her to know that-- so that all can work towards a more productive approach, and support her with whatever she needs. You might find it heartening to hear that at our LLL conference last week there was a session on adoptive & foster nursing, with an IBCLC, a adoptive mother and a foster mother offering information and personal experiences. It's true; we all need to know more information on the subject, and aspects of it transfer to all sorts of other lactation issues. I just checked in LLL's Breastfeeding Answer Book, which has a significant chapter on adoptive nursing with lots of information in a positive approach. Maybe you contacting the local Leaders will inspire them to find out more!
