Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The point of 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 Remembering the Life. A post that will move you to tears when the author states: "It made me realize once again that it isn’t the “big” things that matter. All Mike did was adjust a blanket. But that one small effort is forever ingrained in my memory as one of the kindest actions I have ever experienced in my life." 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. And send me stuff!
- Rally: Sweet Georgia writes: "A two year study was done in Ontario Canada that came out stating that the government should fund 3 IVFs per couple in Ontario and that it would actually save our health care system money in the long run. Our government has had the results for 3 months and nothing has been done so we are having a virtual rally on December 2." You can read more about the virtual rally on her blog and find out how you can help get word out to other bloggers and Iffers, and how to get your voice heard in government.

- 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.
