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.

- Question: Of Love and Loss asks: "I'm looking to get some feedback from others who have been prescribed Zoloft during pregnancy to treat depression. I know there are risks/side effects/etc, and I've found lots of technical info online. What I really want is some honest-to-goodness first hand experiences including side effects to both mom and baby both during and after pregnancy and how long they were usually on the medication. Any help would be very much appreciated!"
- Question: Cara at Share Southern Vermont is looking for a list of miscarriage / stillbirth research foundations that are actively working to find out why / how we lose our babies. Share Southern Vermont will donate 5% of their annual fundraising to one of these organizations!
