As my wife and I were looking into adoption issues, especially the concept of attachment disorders, we came across a great book called (duh!) Attaching in Adoption:
Practical Tools for Today's Parents by Deborah Gray. I had started to consider some of the similarities in how kids with attachment issues manifest those in their behavior and how humans behave toward God.
I happened to find this at the end of the acknowledgements section of the book:
“I have come to acknowledge myself as an attachment-disordered child of a loving God, slow to trust and confused between life and God, in spite of evidence of love. I am grateful for this extragant love, flowing through my life, through my work.”
(excerpt from Attaching in Adoption:Practical Tools for Today's Parents by Deborah Gray, Perspectives Press, Inc.: Indianpolis, IN, 2002, used with permission)
I was taken aback by this and glad to know that I wasn't the only one seeing this connection. I've looked around on the net and haven't really found anything that made such a comparison or explored this aspect.
