754th Issue of the LFCA

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.

• The Mamas at Reproducing Genius have had their world turned upside down. Their almost 3 year old son was just diagnosed with leukemia. Please keep them in your thoughts as they find their way through.
• Mash is in a dark place right now. The financials are in a disarray, she is not getting any younger, and their adoption screening is next year. It's time to take some very hard decisions about the struggle to have a child. Support her all you can.
