Families Are Created in Different Ways — and This Formula Shortage Is Impacting Us All
My seven children were born out of international adoption, IVF, and two separate surrogacy journeys
My modern-day family has grown up on a mixture of formula and breast milk.

Instead, I felt stigmatized for not making greater efforts to secure breast milk for my children.
