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.

- Kirtsy'd Pick O' the Day: Please vote for this one from Bee in the Bonnet. A patient in the waiting room processes how another woman introduces herself to the receptionist at the clinic, a child in tow. A post about how others hear our words. How do you vote? Simply by clicking on the words "this one" above and then clicking on the post's title. Why the Kirtsy'd Pick O' the Day? Click on that link in the header navigation bar above for the story.

- Information: Baby Wanted: Apply Within has information from an adoption facilitator in the U.S. about a shortage of families who are prepared to adopt African American and/or bi-racial children. The agency currently has 5 expectant mothers who are due before the end of the year who do not have any adoptive families within their preferences from which to choose. Contact Pam for further information.

- Password Protected Blog?: Pam wrote: "Has This is NOT What I Ordered? gone password protected? She's been on my reader forever and now I can't get in. Anyone know how to contact her?"
- Forums: If you are not a member of the forums, you will not have access to the LFCA on days when we are utilizing an open thread in the forums instead of posting on this site. Any blog reader or writer can become a member of the forums by clicking here and registering. On days when we don't have the LFCA, it also follows that I'll be slow on approving new members (that whole lack of Internet access thing) so please be patient.
