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.

Mel,
I actually didn't know about LFCA until today when I logged into my blog and read comments from readers I didn't know. It was wonderful to accept all of that support in my difficult situation. I don't know how you found out about this to include it on the LFCA but thanks; and thank you for running this blog. Much appreciated.
One hit wonder
