Synopsis "Reimagining Adoption: What Adoptees Seek from Families and Faith"
Winner of the 2021 Solver in the Illumination Book Awards which honor the year's best new titles written and published with a Christian worldview, "Reimagining Adoption" examines beliefs, practices, and Scripture to distill adoption policy steeped in Christian values and attuned to the needs of vulnerable children and their families. It examines the historical practices, reviews current practices, and proposes revisions. More importantly, it lifts up the words of adult adoptees--the true experts on adoption--and braids them with the insights of adoptive families to craft a new adoption paradigm. Readers will learn: How to become better Christian parents and more supportive faith communities How to answer tough questions and to anticipate who will pose them and why How to clarify Christian adoption beliefs and practices What makes adoptees the true adoption experts How to process the pain of birth parent loss How to validate adoptee grief and loss How to support family preservation How the radical love of Christ must reshape the way we approach adoption What first-hand adoptee/adoptive family accounts can teach us about faith and adoption How to serve vulnerable children and their families with faith, love, and understanding
