I have met mothers who have told me that just seeing me nursing my adopted babies has given them the empowerment they needed, to work beyond whatever problems had made them doubt their ability to succeed.  However, I think stressing the message that the vast majority of mothers who have never, or not recently, been pregnant, will produce a significant amount of breast milk, just from regularly suckling a baby, is what tends to empower other mothers.  I think too much talk about the recent trend toward the extensive use of drugs, hormones and breast pumps, by adoptive mothers, can have the opposite effect.
