More than a greeting card, this verse applies to you as well as each of your children. Re-read it with your name and/or theirs in place of the word “you”.
But you’re Feeling deflated & defeated
When the challenges of your adoptive or blended family are more than you can handle on your own, it’s not the time to get down on yourself or give up in defeat…But it might be time for a change.
It might be time to look for support outside your current circles — you know…those made up of people who can’t or won’t provide the real support YOU really need.
for Christian Moms in Complex Adoptive & Blended Families
Are you an adoptive mom feeling the weight of unmet needs and unreliable support within your current circle?
I understand the unique challenges you face and want to extend a hand of compassion and real, tangible assistance. My private post-adoption coaching is designed specifically for dedicated mothers like you, seeking the exact support that no one else has been able or willing to provide.
Discover how personalized post adoption coaching can fill the gap, empower your journey, and bring the genuine understanding and help you deserve. Let's walk this path together, with faith and hope.
HOW IT WORKS
ONCE you submit your contact info on the application request you’ll receive a coaching application questionnaire to complete. The questionnaire is a helpful tool itself! Then…
AFTER a review of your questionnaire, I’ll contact you regarding the next step which is a call to talk about your particular post adoption challenges, about my coaching process, and questions you may have about what you can expect with post adoption coaching.
Why should you hire me as your post adoption coach?
Standing in the GAP for Second Moms from a Biblical perspective — this is my mission after having found myself in the gap, trying to find my footing and manage to hold on while my family and world had turned upside down & inside out around me.
I know what it’s like to have your support evaporate, to run up against brick walls over & over, to have “experts” make things even worse. I can relate to being falsely accused and feeling unfairly judged as a parent. I know how painful it is to pour love into someone who won’t or can’t return it.
I also know how good it feels when you receive healing for your broken heart, begin to feel secure again, and see progress where you’d previously saw none. It feels freeing to get the needed support — for yourself — helping you to make pivotal shifts and find your solid footing again.
And…
I know something about helping you find your footing and supporting you through the gap in your post adoption journey.

As we gather together in our shared journey of parenting teens with significant early childhood trauma histories, it's essential to pause and reflect on the complex behaviors we face daily. I've been thinking about the historical roles of children and how they might offer us insights into better supporting our young ones today.
In times past, by the age of 15, 16, or 17, young people were often thrust into adult roles, shouldering responsibilities that mirrored those of grown-ups. They worked hard, contributing to their households or finding their place in the world independently. This was the expectation, and it channeled their youthful energy and drive into productive endeavors.
Whether you're raising adopted children, stepchildren, or the children of relatives, you're navigating an incredible journey filled with both significant challenges and rich rewards.
As we venture into this new year, it's the perfect time to consider how we can set healthy personal boundaries that empower us to thrive as individuals and parents. Boundaries are essential for setting yourself up for success as a second mom!
Unless you're new to my content (or just missed it somehow) you may have heard about my authentic modeling method and wondered just what I was talking about. Today, you’ll be happy to learn that I’m going to show you everything you need to know about my authentic modeling method but were afraid to ask, including how to differentiate it from its cousins too "tough love" and the "gentle parenting" trap/trend. I hope this post encourages you that you don't have to choose between either extreme. You'll be ready to own your second mom role knowing you can maximize your positive parental influence while remaining true to your values and personal commitments.
