Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The point to Lost and Found is to level the support playing field. When LFCA works correctly, the newest blogger with the smallest readership can receive the same level of support as the oldest blogger with the largest readership. Anyone can submit news to LFCA by clicking here.Lost and Found is open to anyone in the infertility, pregnancy loss, adoption, pregnancy-and-parenting after infertility, assisted conception, living child-free after infertility or loss community (as well as anyone I inadvertently missed on that list). Please support the list as well as anyone posting announcements below.

- Dog Rescue: Does anybody want a nice dog? Antigone's ex-husband wants to get rid of their dog and Antigone is too far away to take her. If you are close enough to Denver to help Sadie, let Antigone know.
- Fundraiser: Diary of an Infertile Mad Woman writes: "This family really needs our help. I know that things are crappy with the economy right now, but if there is any way that you can help them, please do it. I am working on a few projects right now to help raise money. This little girl deserves every chance that we can give her!"
- Fundraiser: Tammy's Journey writes: "In an effort to raise money for a possible donor egg IVF cycle, I have put together some of my writings from this blog into a book. I know most of you reading my blog are also struggling with infertility and have your own expenses, so please do not feel you have to donate by any means. I completely understand. My hope is that through this book, I can help others struggling with infertility, help family members understand a little more and help raise some money to fulfill our dream. I hope you will check it out. Thank you so much!"
- Question: DinoD asks: "I am a Canadian resident and I have recently been told by my fertility clinic that we cannot donate our frozen embryos within Canada as we did not sign an "intent to donate" form prior to the creation of the embryos (they were created back in 2002/2003 prior to the new regulations covering assisted reproduction and were created initially for our own use). My clinic did seem to imply that we could possibly donate our embryos outside of the country (hopefully without having to try and smuggle them out ourselves). Anyway, after spending as much time as I can muster reading Section 8 of the Assisted Human Reproduction Act Regulations I have come to the conclusion that we may need to seek legal help with this. Is there anyone out there (in Canada) who has dealt with donating embryos created prior to the new 1997 regulations? Any help or direction would be appreciated. Thanks."
- Bridges continues to post daily. And it continues to be an amazing resource for insight into a multitude of worlds. And I'm not just saying that because I work on it.
- If you notice another loading slow down or receive error messages for Stirrup Queens or Lost and Found, please let me know. Now I'm nervous every time I add anything to the side bar!
