789th 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.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS
New

  • IComLeavWe: comment leaving week kicks off on Wednesday, the 21st.
  • Connection: A reader asks: "is Julia of Here Be Hippogriffs is okay? She has not updated her blog in over a month, which is not all that alarming, but she has also disabled the comments.  It’s her prerogative to do with her blog as she wishes, but I am worried."
  • Event: Conceivable Dreams writes: "Conceivable Dreams is a not for profit coalition for public funding of infertility treatment. This year we are hosting our first ever picnic and we are so excited! This picnic is about raising awareness; however, most importantly about bringing together a community that usually struggles in silence. The many hardships of infertility are countless, as I am sure you know, and it is important to us that we break the silence of infertility and unite a divided community. This will not only show others they are not alone, allow successful infertility patients still to be involved in the community and bring awareness to the many people who are unaware of the devastating effects of infertility. I personally also believe in ""strength in numbers"" for any cause, since this is our first ever community event, we would like to personally invite everyone to come and spread the word! We look forward in seeing you there to make this event a success, making our voices heard and dreams a reality. If you have any questions or feedback please feel free to contact me directly anytime. Danielle Xavier danielle@conceivabledreams.org."

Given that the last comment on julia's last post was exactly 30 days after she posted, I'd guess comments to any given post are just automatically disabled after a month. I do miss her dearly, but I've just been assuming she has her hands full -- or is on another road trip before school starts!
