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.

- LFCA Category Update: since people were all over the place in their feeling about receiving messages of support long after a fact, I've decided to just include notes in the support section as we've usually done. Which means that even if it long after a moment and you need support, you should list it.
- You Know: You know how good you felt when someone came to your blog for the first time? Well, Niki's gestational carrier, K, just wrote her first post on Niki's blog and she could use some well-wishes welcoming her into the community. That's my little way of nudging you over there.
- Project: Clio writes: "I started an astrology research project looking for common trends in charts of women experiencing, or who have experienced IF, as a way to better understand patterns and possibilities when they finally get pregnant as well. I am aware of many studies that use astrology to find fertile times, but no published study that discusses infertility in the charts and how different planets may affect those patterns. I explain everything in this post and I'm inviting all women in this community to participate. The more data I can gather the more comprehensive and accurate I can get. Participants can volunteer their information anonymously as well. I'll be posting updates in all my findings. Thank you!"
- Project: Sassy at Cupcakes and Conundrums is inviting people to share photos of how their community and their family is celebrating Christmas this year. Leave a comment on her blog to let her know that you'll be participating.
