I've never heard of an age limit for adoptive nursing, and certainly as a
LLLL, our mission is to support all mothers for whatever breastfeeding they
are able to do. We have even had adoptive gay male couples come to our
meetings, who were obviously not going to lactate, but who wanted to have
support for loving parenting and donor milk feeding!
I would encourage you as the LC to contact the League Leader(s) whose
meetings your adoptive mother went to, and discuss the issue with them.  As
we all have encountered, sometimes mothers have a different perception of
information encountered in any situation, flavored by fears and hopes, than
was intended.  And LC's and Leaders working together can help bring mothers
the most effective support, be it technical info or emotional.  I always
appreciate it when I get to hear another side of a case.  Whether it be
wearing my  Leader or IBCLC hat, I always hear a bit that surprises me about
a mother's situation or perceptions--and it helps me to be more effective.
Susan Lawrence, RN, IBCLC, LLLL
