Big of you Cathy! "IF it were my baby who got nursed, I guess I'd be taken aback at first, esp. if it was by someone I didn't know all that well, but I think I'd figure "oh, what the hell?" and get over it." Me? I'd freak. I'd totally go off the deep end. I'd *insist* that the mom be tested upside down and sideways for *all* the diseases, but especially HIV. And be tested *again* after 3 months. And then pray! If the mom of the recipient baby were my client, I'd urge her to do the same. To be complacent about such a thing is insanity IMHO.
