I talked to a lady today who is 49 years old and is expecting to adopt
in June or so.  She breastfed 2 children 20 years ago for 7-8 months
each.  She has had a hysterectomy including ovaries and is taking
hormone replacement therapy.  What effect will this have on inducing
lactation.  I have never helped anyone with adopted breastfeeding and am
in the process of getting up to date on this issue.  I was just
wondering before I get too far, about the issue of the hysterectomy.

Thanks,
