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.

OMG... thank you SO much for the shout out!! I had no idea what LFCA was until I went on my blog and found a zillion comments (or 35, depending on your perspective) which led me here! I had no idea what LFCA was, but I'm very grateful to you for linking to my post. I'm actually tearing up... could be the hormones, but again, thank you :-)
