Welcome Jessia!
There is a whole thread (more probably than one) dedicated to this topic on the forum.
This is something that I thought about a great deal myself at one point in time. In the end we had no time to prepare ahead of time to breastfeed either of our boys. Between match and birth were about a week or two with each of our boys. A friend of mine has always made the argument in favor of a-mom's breastfeeding because birthmoms choose us to make the best decisions for the child involved that includes whether or not baby is breastfed. I totally agree with her. However, I would caution that as Erin mentioned the success for any woman who has not previously birthed/breastfed a baby is going to be limited. Meaning let's say a baby needs 3 oz of milk every three hours, and you are only producing one ounce. You then have double effort every three hours and maybe the tube thing as Erin mentioned. As my boys were little I still ached to have the breastfeeding experience but whenever I thought through the efforts involved vs. the benefit derived, and the fact that the boys food intake was ever increasing, the argument allows came up in favor of not breastfeeding. It also wasn't just me involved - this kind of effort would impact me, my stress level, my time, the boys and my husband. so then it's hard to argue that mom (and dad) being more stressed, more tired and having less time etc was best for baby. In the breastfeeding thread here on the forum there is a post at the end with positive notes about a-mom's breastfeeding but what the poster left out of her post is that she had previously birthed and breastfed two biological children before breastfeeding an adopted child. Even she only produced a small portion of the baby's total food supply.
Are there instances when it works, I bet there are, but small percentage. Both my formula fed babies have thrived even despite parker being 9 weeks premature.
I think also it's harder for men to bond with a child who is adopted than it is for women. I think bottle feeding helps the guys get there faster. If you attempt breast feeding, it will be such an uphill battle that you should not have dad do any feedings. Realistically you will need baby on boob every three or four hours day and night. Because that is what triggers your body to produce (and increase production) and what will train baby to suck.
For me in choosing to adopt, this ended up being one of those things I just had to let go of.
