I agree with you, Josie. and on a side note, there are ways to
breastfeed adopted babies as well. Anyone interested can contact a
lactation consultant- there are ways to "bring in milk", it takes time
and patience. But you're right, bonding can take place with any form of
nurturing, breast or bottle. (My 3rd baby weaned himself at 8 months,
much to my sadness. Every baby is different.) :)Monica
