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.

I wondered why you included me in today's issue, and now I see that the Devil made you do it!
XO
Thanks to the kind soul who included my news about my mum's death. We just lost our beloved dog Dylan this weekend, aged 14. His dear brother Oliver died in July and we are feeling a bit bereft with all this loss. However we are holding tight to Isobel, our beloved six week old miracle baby and feeling thankful that we have her with us.
