Dr. Karelynne Gerber Ayayo publishes Thinking about Adoption: A Practical and Theological Handbook for Christians Discerning the Call to Parent by Adoption
Congratulations to Dr. Karelynne Gerber Ayayo (STH Practical Theology ’03) on publishing Thinking about Adoption: A Practical and Theological Handbook for Christians Discerning the Call to Parent by Adoption! Written with her husband Michael Ayayo, Thinking about Adoption offers biblical teaching and theological principles related to adoption, as well as introduces various types of adoption. Through sharing the stories of ten adoptive families, Ayayo and Ayayo provide a critical resource for families and communities discerning adoption. They write of Thinking about Adoption: “Our hope is that God will use this book to minister to others who find themselves in the place where we once were. It is designed to be a first-read resource for Christians who are beginning the process of discerning whether they are called to parent by adoption. It assists the reader in answering two questions: ‘Might God be calling me to become an adoptive parent?’ and ‘Which path to adoption should we pursue?’” Thinking about Adoption is published by Wipf and Stock and is available at this link.
