Milkshare acts as a link between donors and families in need.  The milk 
is free but you pay costs.  It's an informal set up.

Also, is your mother formally a breastfeeding Mum?  If so, there are a 
few tricks to switching to formula feeding, that another contact I have 
may be able to help with.  She's a LLLL, who is fostering twins, and is 
forbidden from giving them donated human milk under the fostering 
contract. She's had a steep learning curve on the differences - 
especially when it comes to growth spurts (which the peds claimed 
formula babies don't have).  So if your adopting mother would like the 
contact, I can see if my friend is happy to forward some email support 
(she's a bit busy, what with bottle feeding hungry twins).
