> LONG DESCRIPTION:
>MacKenzie’s hope is the true story of one birth mom’s experience placing
her child in a semi-open adoption while living in a maternity home in Fort
Worth, TX. The story takes place in the year 2000 and includes a childhood
background of the author/birth mom detailing her many obstacles throughout
life such as alcoholism, depression, sexual and physical abuse, sex
addiction, and bipolar disorder. While the story is at times tragic it is
also the portrait of a woman who will not and does not give up despite
what others tell her throughout her life.

>The story begins when Tara, the birth mom finds out she is pregnant for
the first time at the age of 34. For 14 years she did not think she was
physically capable of having children so this pregnancy news was a huge
shock and not happy news given the birth mom’s mental and physical
conditions. The birth mom is in constant conflict, which she later
resolves, between society’s expectations of her as a mother preparing to
have a child and her own resolve to give her child the home she deserves.
Tara deals continuously with guilt, shame, remorse, and regret before,
during, and after her decision to place her only child for adoption,
however she does come to terms with her commitment eventually after a
series of painful and intense self-discoveries on her path to peace and
happiness.

>The book gives the reader a rare look at what it is like to make an
adoption decision from the birth mom’s standpoint and also includes the
experiences of the adoptive parents, the birth mom’s siblings, adoptive
parents’ families, and other adoptive children, the birth father,
biological grandparents, relatives, and house parents who work in the
maternity home. The story is one of rich detail and imagery captured from
the eyes of the birth mom and her emotions, experiences, and memories
coupled with the communications from her significant others which include
a close relationship with the adoptive parents she later chooses for her
child.

Nature Organization Helps With Katrina Effort

By Terri Rimmer Recently 14 Nature Conservancy staff and two volunteers helped out in Mississippi with Hurricane Katrina relief. The country’s wildland fire management resources were mobilized to help with the government’s response. Although their hurricane-related duties didn’t have anything to do with flames their training lent itself well. During the stay in Hattiesburg, MS the team from the Nature Conservancy was able to have housing, transportation, meals, and other needs met. Within the organization the help was orchestrated by Paula Seamon and Sam Lindblom of the agency’s Global Fire Initiative. The team was involved in a variety of activities from clearing timber to helping evacuees. The Initiative helps teach people how fire can be useful and how it can be destructive. According to a press release from nature.org, the Conservancy’s website, the agency and partners have proposed renewed coastal conservation in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. A September release also stated that ...

Women Using Book To Help People and Animals

By Terri Rimmer Donations from the profits of a new book are going to help people with AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) and their pets. Following last year’s election, Cathy Conheim and her partner Dr. Donna Brooks were driving to their home, feeling discouraged about current events. There were “dog people” but when they arrived home they discovered a three-month-old kitten living on their property that had been injured badly. Off to the vet they sped with their young charge. An amputation was necessary to save the kitten’s life and they were told that he could no longer be an outdoor cat. They ended up adopting “Henry” and there ensued an incredible journey. Conheim started writing about the cat’s adventures as much for her own healing regarding some bad news politically as for anything else. She sent them to 20 people who sent them on, and today, Henry The Cat has 2,300 emails in ”his” letterbox in the sky. “My cat, Rhett Butler became one of Henry’s teachers and correspond...

Making Subsidies Accountable

By Terri Rimmer An award winner and author founded Good Jobs First back in 1998. Greg LeRoy, who wrote No More Candy Store: States and Cities Making Jobs Subsidies Accountable and winner of the 1998 Public Interest Pioneer Award of the Stern Family Fund, has made his organization a national leader. Good Jobs First frequently testifies before state legislatures, conducts workshops and training, and appears in the press. Good Jobs first says that the failure of large companies such as Wal-Mart to provide affordable and comprehensive health coverage to many of their employees has been a subject of growing controversy – all the more so because large numbers of those workers not insured on the job are turning instead to government programs such as Medicaid and the State Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). According to their website, goodjobsfirst.org, Wal-Mart has received more than $1 billion in economic development subsidies from state and local governments across the country. The...
