831st 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.

• Question: A reader without a blog writes, "My husband and I have a beautiful 4 1/2 year old daughter who we conceived naturally. Baby #2...not so much. After 3 years of trying including 4 failed IUIs and 2 unsuccessful (1 miscarriage) IVF cycles, we are thinking about embryo adoption. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this? Any connection would be appreciated. Thanks."  Leave her a message in the comment section.
