Abstract

Constructivist grounded theory was used to generate a substantive theoretical model for the development of resilience and coping strategies of Christian adoptive parents. 'Resilience: Extending Beyond Self' provides a unique theory which illustrates processes in response to adoption-related parenting challenges. The core category that emerged from the research was 'seeking connection.' Two other categories were also raised: 'turning it over to God' and 'seeking new perspectives.' These three areas represent protective factors which increase the likelihood of desirable outcomes in high-stress parenting situations. The model theorizes that the underlying motivation for these three categories is to find support and belonging.
