I've met moms who wanted to talk to other moms who've nursed
adopted babies, but they"ve seemed very pleased with the LLL New
Beginnings articles i shared with them instead.  I xerox neat
stories as I come across them then I group them according to
topic.  I probably have twenty stories of different adoptive
moms I've collected over the years and each one is personal, and
upbeat, and each journey and end result so different from
another that I almost prefer to offer this.-Joyce Mitchell
