I'm a new donor: Looking for long term recipients

Please contact us if you are willing to be our long term donor to our daughter with Russell Silver Syndrome. We are in danger of running out of milk at the moment and need more ASAP. We have not been able to find a long-term donor and have bounced around for about 6 months with different ones.

I will cover all your costs, whatever they may be.

If you are still looking for a home for your milk for a babe/family I am interested. You can read my story here https://milkshare.forumotion.com/t5476-unable-to-breastfeed-baby-weight-issues

Please let me know. God bless you for your generosity no matter where you choose to send your milk!

I would love to be your long term recipient.

Thanks,

Hi there,

Have you found your donor family?

Hi,

Have you found anyone to donate your milk to? My name is Kelly and I am a 44 year old, single, adoptive mom who has finally come to the end of a four-year adoption saga, and am now beginning of the most important journey of my life, being a mom. As an adoptive mom I will only be able to produce anywhere from 25 – 75% of the breast milk William will need for nourishment. However, due the incredible bonding that occurs through breastfeeding I am committed to this path, especially for an adoptive child. It is my dream that William only receive breast milk, so I am hoping to find generous moms who would be willing to donate any surplus breast milk for use in my supplementor so William doesn’t have to drink formula and gets all the amazing health benefits of a diet that is exclusively breast milk.

I am in California but would love a long term donor relationship and could pay for the shipping. Please let me know if you are still looking. My son is due on 7/19.

Thanks,
Kelly

Hi! Our little family is expecting a new baby between July 23-27 and I'm looking to create a long term donation relationship with a family or two in need of breast milk for their little one. Are you pregnant with, adopting or currently have a baby in need in which my future milk will be appropriately aged? We are looking to provide for 1 or 2 families over the long term, as I won't be able to expend energy creating contacts and orchestrating new donation plans, shipping etc with multiple families in a hodgepodge fashion. I'm a doctoral student and my husband works full time so time and energy is precious to us. I will be working from home with my newborn for the first 6 months and then returning full time after that. I really wanted to donate breast milk with my first child but 7 years ago either systems like Milk Share were not available or I simply did not know about it! I'm glad Milk Share is here this time around!

I successfully bf'ed my little girl for 2 years without any supply issues and fully anticipate having ample milk to share this time around. I'm located in San Antonio TX and would prioritize local or regional families that are willing to pick up the donated milk but am willing to ship anywhere in the US if needed. I have a 2005 Medela Pump In Style Advance from my daughter and I plan to use it with our new little one. I am willing to provide blood testing documentation, medical, dietary and lifestyle info. My diet is Octo-Lacto vegetarian, as organic as possible. No rx drugs, illegal drugs or alcohol. My husband and I are monogamous and all of my pre-natal infectious disease screens came back negative. We are a GLBTQ and adoption friendly family.

Things my family would ask of you:

1) If shipping is required, all costs and or supplies must be provided by you. This includes pick up from my home, money for dry ice, tape, milk bags and insulated boxes/coolers. Instead of providing money, please feel free to have the necessary shipping items delivered to my home when needed.
2) We prefer all transactions to occur through pay pal...no personal checks in the mail.
3) We would ask for a photo or two of your little one so I can "see" who all my hard work is going towards! Plus who doesn't love photos of sweet little bugs! We respect the privacy of families so we do not not require any further personal information unless you feel comfortable sharing it with us at any time.

Please PM me if interested.
