Good news for a change! The Phila. Inquirer has a Sunday magazine section
which contained an article by one of its staff members who adopted a baby
who had been abandoned in a stairwell. The article contained the
following:

"When she came home from the hospital, she was drinking formula.  But she
was having a hard time keeping it down..... 'This baby needs breast
milk,' Gail announced after a day or two of tyring to get her to eat.
Gail started making making phone calls, looking for breast milk.  She
rented a breast pump and decided that if she couldn't find any breast
milk she would make it herself.  It's not impossible for a woman to
prodcue breast milk without going through a pregnancy, but it is
unusual."  Gail began to getting milk in two days. And to supplement her
supply, he had breast milk shipped in from Georgetown Univ. Med. Center.
IT was momre expensive than fine wine. And Gwynna didn't sip it either.
She chugged it.  Later the article said:  "Gail found a Chester County
woman donated her extra breast milk to supplement Gwynna's nursing.  The
baby was thriving on a diet of breast milk, formula and boundless love."

The writer is Timothy Dwyer, and the name of the article "The foundling."
