I heard an interesting presentation on how the idea of milk kinship was
improving adoption rates in Islamic countries. Women would not be able
to adopt children, because they would not be able to be unchaperoned
around them as they grew if they were boys, and if they were girls, they
would not be able to be around their brothers. Introducing the concept
of adoptive breastfeeding allowed children to be adopted, because they
were then legally milk children/siblings, and would be in normal
familial relationship with the rest of the family members. My apologies
to the person who gave the lecture, I can't remember who it was and
don't have time to look it up.
