I'm doing my darnedest to track down that elusive reference regarding the
idea that mothers at the tail end of lactation are *not* at an advantage for
inducing lactation for a new adopted baby, and in fact might even be at a
disadvantage.  The time period should have been 1989 or 1990 (my former
co-leader's daughter was born 9/87 and was a nursing toddler at the time of
our discussion), and I have checked all of my back issues of New Beginnings
and Leaven, with the exception of one missing issue. However, I am beginning
to think that maybe the information was contained in our area letter, "League
Spirit", because the indices for NB & L don't list any adoption articles that
I haven't already checked out. Does anyone have or know of someone who has
back issues of League Spirit? Maybe someone could post this request to LLL
online, since I am not subscribed there.  This question has been bothering me
for some time now, and others have also expressed interest in tracking down
the article where I first read the suggested info. Any help is appreciated!
