Welcome to today's edition of Connections Abound. The point to 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.

- Radio Show: Creating a Family writes: "This week’s Creating a Family Show (Wed., May 13), will be a big one. We will be talking about the future of international adoptions from Guatemala and what has happened to the children since international adoptions stopped a year ago. We are thrilled with our guest lineup. We will have Wendy Cuellar, Director of the National Council for Adoptions, Guatemala’s Central Adoption Authority; Michelle Bond, US State Department, Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for International Adoptions; Randy Weaver, the Guatemala Director of Orphans Resources International; and Kevin Kreutner, co-founder of Guatadopt, an adoptive parent support group. This show is for anyone interested in the future of international adoptions, regardless of where the children come from. Send any questions to dawn @creatingafamily.com (delete space) and listen in either during the show (12-1 Eastern Time) or after it airs at the radio page of www.CreatingaFamily.com, or download it from iTunes. Please pass the news about this blog and show to other forums and groups."
- Forums: If you are not a member of the forums, you will not have access to the LFCA on days when we are utilizing an open thread in the forums instead of posting on this site. Any blog reader or writer can become a member of the forums by clicking here and registering. On days when we don't have the LFCA, it also follows that I'll be slow on approving new members (that whole lack of Internet access thing) so please be patient.
