Post Adoption Support for 2nd Moms
with Dawn Baggett
Dawn T. Baggett, JD
- Post Adoption Mom Coach -
& creator of the
podcast, "2nd Moms Circle for Christian Adoptive Moms"
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.
Your personal post-adoption support strategist -- aka, post adoption mom coach!
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?
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.

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.
If you've adopted a child (or three!) in the past year or so, despite getting into a routine and getting to know each other better, you feel a sense of loss as the reality of your "new normal" has set in.
You may find yourself thinking wistfully of those pre-adoption days and what you have essentially given up.
Don’t Gaslight Yourself
Don’t gaslight yourself. Your feelings of loss and grief are valid. You will all likely experience them in the days, weeks, months, years to come. You’ll continue to have adjustments to make. You’ll continue to have opportunities to model moving through grief and loss to your children.
Parenting is rarely straightforward, but when it comes to adoption, the journey takes on added challenges. One of the profound pieces of this puzzle is recognizing the ongoing effects of the trauma background your child may carry, how it impacts their behaviors and perceptions—especially their belief (or fear) that they may be unlovable, leading them to approach close relationships defensively.
Even as the most prepared adoptive parent, experiencing your incredible love and dedication reflected back with wariness or even rejection from your child can be destabilizing.
