Offering Post-Adoption Support
for Christian Moms in Complex Adoptive & Blended Families
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.
Hello, I’m Dawn Baggett —
Your personal
post-adoption support strategist (aka - post adoption mom coach)!

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.

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?
Mission
Standing in the GAP for Second Moms through podcasting & coaching from a trauma informed, Biblical perspective — is my mission after having found myself in the gap, trying to find my footing and hold on while my family and world had turned upside down & inside out!
Experience
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.
Vision
I also know how good it feels when you receive healing for your broken heart, see progress where it was so illusive, and get the needed support that helps you make pivotal changes for yourself & family members, to find your solid footing again.
Ability
And I know something about helping you find your footing and supporting you through the gap in your post adoption journey.

A cultural myth that is very prevalent today is that parents must affirm sinful & harmful lifestyle choices that run contrary to God’s laws, or we cause our children terrible harm — like feelings of shame, rejection, fear, insecurity, and to generally feel bad about themselves leading to all kinds of problems for them.
It is presumed that parents are unkind and unloving if we do not also embrace and adopt these choices.
Did you know that early childhood trauma often leads to a pervasive sense of helplessness in children?
This in turn can cause them to overcompensate with age-inappropriate independence and rigid control strategies.
If you're noticing these behaviors in your child, know that you are not alone, and together, we can find paths toward healing and connection.
