I read this post with interest.  I have a question, maybe  "dumb" but it just 
wrinkled my nose.  The quote states that the "storage  jars can go straight 
into the pasteurizer once thawed".  I was under  the impression that milk could 
not be refrozen once thawed.  What happens  once you thaw, and pasteurize the 
milk?  Just ship it refrigerated?  I  was under the impression it arrived to 
the "donee" frozen to be thawed and then  fed to the infant.  Does the 
pasteurization process make refreezing  ok?  I am just curious.
