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.

- Is it True?: A blogger I completely trust sent this in, though neither of us can vouch for the truthfulness in this. Still, if it is, it's worth passing along: "According to the American Fertility Association, an RE in Southern California, Huntington Reproductive Center, is celebrating their 20th anniversary by giving away 20 free IVF cycles. Again, not sure it's legit, but figured anyone that lives in the area (or is willing and able to travel) should have the opportunity to check it out."

We are sitting down the twins and having a talk this afternoon about putting things in their mouth as well as getting rid of music cards to be on the safe side. Please read it and pass along the information to others who have small children (or, damn, I could imagine idiotic middle schoolers swallowing a battery not knowing what it does inside the body).

Just a note - Gabriel's birthdate and death date is December 10th. I don't think I mentioned it for your records.
My retrieval is Saturday, and transfer is probably Tuesday.
Thank you for mentioning my giveaway! Merry Christmas!

Don't know if I added William to your calendar or not! Birth day, December 13, 2007. Found out on December 10, 2007 that we had lost him.
Is Bridges still posting daily? I havn't had it show up in my Reader for a while now and am wondering if something is wrong there. Thanks.
thanks so much for thinking of hazel, and especially for passing the word along about the danger of button batteries! i cant tell you how much i appreciate it. it seems as though we are far from the only parents who were ignorant of how dangerous these common little things are. im happy to say that hazel is doing great now, and we are so blessed to have her back home with us. we ave made so many new friends in the blogosphere because of all of this, and for that i am grateful! have a safe and happy holiday season,
amanda, jamie and hazel
