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.

Hi I'm a new blogger, please add me :) http://waitingforourturn.blogspot.com/
Does anyone else, upon seeing their name on LFCA, throw their arms out and exclaim "I'm faaaaamous!"?
Io - always! It's like if you see your name on LFCA, you know you made it.
Thanks so much for adding me to your wrap up. Its lovely to have the stream of support that comes with it :-)
lo - yes!! In fact, I am still a little dizzy seeing that I'm the kirtsy girl today? Oh my gosh. Thank you, Mel, so much.
And I am even happier to report that that post HAS triggered some nice support for hubby IRL (not from some of the people I had hoped, but others definitely stepped up to the plate) and enough to lift the funk a little and let him smile a little more.
As always, thanks so much for your support.
