For an adopted baby the only thing that I have been able to find out is that a
liquid formula, not a reconstituted posder, is essential if the milk will be used
in a supplementer of any type.  It could be either ready to feed liquid or diluted
concentrate.  As to the type of ABM - I refuse to get into this and refer the
parents to the pediatrician.  The parents don't like it too much when I refuse to
suggest a brand.

Oh and I never thought that you were the one advocating the goat's milk - it
didn't sound that way.
