Is it possible to breastfeed an adopted child?

Yes: It is difficult but possible with continued stimulation of the breast. This can be done with a breast pump.

Yes: If you are still lactating from a previous pregnancy, certainly. It just happens to be unusual, in the western culture, to adopt a child right after giving birth to one.
