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.

- Off-Topic Performance: If you live in Madison, WI or Minneapolis, MN (or live within driving distance), my friend, H.R., is doing a performance of his one-man show, Melting in Madras. He is beyond amazing as a storyteller. If I still lived in the Midwest, I'd be there in a heartbeat (and as is, I'm trying to catch the show in NY). He's in Madison for two performances on 7/31 and 8/1. He's in Minneapolis for several performances as part of the Minnesota Fringe (8/5--15). More information on performances can be seen on his website, and if you look under the playbill image, you can see a link to a kickstart video that has footage from the performance to give you a taste.

I really like your blog format. It is different than other blogs that I have come across. I just really like your style.
I am also going through infertility. I have been in the battle of seven years. I have done it all....years of infertility treatments, IVF, 3 failed adoptions...and so on. It is one of the hardest things I have had to endure. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you and this journey. I found you just through blog hoping.
I have just started my own blog. It is not about my journey, or how to get pregnant, or all the methods out there. It is more about "keeping the hope" for you, others, me, and just anyone. It was started after a very long emotional blog on my family blog. someone read my blog and started a facebook group called "Keeping the hope for you." It was for my friends and family to keep the hope of me while I did not have the energy to do in myself. So hence my blog...http://keepingthehope4you.blogspot.com
That is what the blog is about...helping everyone and anyone who either wants to keep the hope for them or a love one. keep our spirits up while we ride with roller coaster. I hope you stop by. I would love your comments, ideas, and thoughts.
keeping the hope for you.....Amanda
