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.

- Activism: Daisy writes: "Calling all AZ IFers to take action!! New AZ legislation has passed the senate that severely restricts treatment of embryos and ability to donate eggs and are being voted on by the House March 31st.

Both of these bills are short sighted and the legislatures proposing it do not understand its impact.
