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.

- Project: Courtney at Chance to Hope and Suzy of Not a Fertile Myrtle have started a new infertility blogging project, Bloggers for Hope. This will be authored by seven blog authors in the ALI community, one of them is even a guy! They will be featuring several topics and each author is talking about their experiences through infertility. Some of the topics covered will be: miscarriage, endometriosis, IVF, donor egg/sperm, parenting after IF, adoption, and male factor infertility. Be sure to join in their launch party for a chance to win a fun prize. They hope this will be a great resource for the ALI community.
- Invite Only: Caro at 3rd Time Lucky has decided to make her blog private. She hardly ever posts any more and since someone has recently found her twitter account causing her to delete it, she's being a bit more careful about privacy. Email her at thirdtimeluckyemail[at]gmail[dot]com for an invite.
- Project: Parenthood for Me is looking for guest writers for the blog. Help educate and inform through your own stories. The topics include but are not limited to: (1) Waiting for a match or referral for domestic adoption (2) Foster to adopt (3) Parenting after infertility
(4) How did you choose to use donor gametes? (5) What are some lessons learned that you would like to pass on to those just beginning their IF journey or adoption journey.
Please email Erica at info@parenthoodforme.org. - Project: Sunnydaytodaymama has compiled a list of Sharing Hope posts from 2011 with links to blogs that shared images and words of hope.
