Since our birthmom is probably not going to be BFing, do we need to bring formula to the hospital? She is responsible for the hospital bills pertaining to the birth and all. Are they going to charge her for using their formula? Should I bring my own anyway so they can go on hippie organic formula that is not made by an evil company?

In addition to the hospital, would the adoption agency have any info or advice on this issue? Not exactly the same situation, but a couple in one of my birth classes who was using a surrogate mentioned that they had some sort of agreement about BFing/formula worked out beforehand.
ETA: missing word.

though I bf'd for an endless period of time, I would supplement sometimes with J and at least one bottle a night with W, I really liked th etarget brand formula in the periwinkle can.
it had a better odor, and the kids seemed to have no ill effects from it.
( like extra gas and weird poops...)
oh, and it was cheeeeeap comparatively. I liked it.
I'd bring a can to the hosp. or...you know those prepared bottles are REALLY nice...more $$ but the time and fuss they save...maybe a few cases of those until you get on a roll...then switch to mixit kind.
you guys are going to take to this like champs, don't worry.
