Contents:
Trinitarian adoption and identity formation / Geordie Ziegler -- Our mutual adoption / Martha Kalnin Diede -- Found by grace / Forrest Inslee -- When adoption, Colorado ranches, and Kung Fu Panda collide / Jeremy Cook -- How adoption brought me from darkness to light / Maggie Lalich -- The right fit? / Elizabeth Huston -- Kiki / Kohleun Adamson -- On (not) fearing the mystery of God / Melanie Springer Mock -- Overcoming / Jere Witherspoon -- Where in the Bible am I? / Kimberly Claassen Felton -- The whole story : revisiting the unspoken complexities of adoption / Jecqueline N. Gustafson -- The fruitful tree / David Michael Haslet -- Adoption of Lizette / Moses Harris -- Love or luck? / Douglas Webster -- All shall be well / Jeremiah Webster -- Open questions / Michael Dean Clark -- Dumb questions about adoption / Klarissa I. Clark -- Grit and grace / Beth Woolsey -- A tapestry of redemption : one adoptee's journey / Kelli Hall -- Reflections on adoption and religion / Russ Richter.
Summary: The Spirit of Adoption explores many of the complexities inherent in adoption and its relationship to spirituality, challenging us to move beyond the common mythologies about adoption to consider the more difficult questions adoption raises about the nature of God, family, culture, loss, and joy. Rather than hearing from experts in adoption, this collection uses the narratives of birth parents, adoptive parents, and adoptees themselves, bearing witness to the ways adoption shapes its participants' spiritual lives. By allowing others to narrate their spiritual journeys through adoption, we hope.
