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: Have you noticed a perfect moment in June? Not necessarily that something perfect happened TO you, but that through simple awareness you noticed that you were happy or content. Share that moment with us during the week of June 25, and add your link on WriteMindOpenHeart.com. Then visit the perfect moments of other participants -- an exercise that's likely to bring grins and giggles.
- Connection: S of Misconceptions About Conception is looking for success stories for a friend in real life who does not blog and is going through a very difficult situation. Her friend K is pregnant with twin boys and will be 21 weeks along tomorrow. Twin B has died due to congenital abnormalities. (As far they can tell, Twin A is normal and healthy.) Has anyone known of a situation where one twin has died in utero at this early gestation and the still-living twin has made it to viability and survived? Please email S at sangela71@yahoo.com.
- Blog Offline: Geohde writes, "Unpleasantness with family member who has turned out to have been presumably snooping, reading my blog for goodness knows how long and now has done all sorts of horrid unpleasantness about things never intended they read. Said family member has been reminded that while things they weren't intended to read may be upsetting, snooping, severely punishing and abusing somebody on the grounds of reading their private thoughts is rather poor form. Said family member has been informed that there is a big difference between abusing somebody to their face out of the blue and my writing something that should have been private on an anonymous internet forum to vent feelings without causing direct hurt. I'm in lockdown until I work out what to do. I miss you all and this is killing me - nearly a decade of blogging, my life, my loss, all of it has been shared with such a wonderful group of women and I really don't know what to say other than that this has been ruined. Email me missionimpossibleinfertile at yahoo.com for access to the blog while I figure things out."
