Why the Focus on Safety Just for Moms?

This is a good introductory question before getting into this replay episode.

Maybe because it’s so overlooked.

Maybe because of the story from just last week in which a mom in one of my Facebook groups was killed by her 18 year old son?

Maybe because I know from experience and from others that moms are often blamed rather than helped when they reach out to family, friends, experts and authorities.

Maybe because it’s time.

NEW LENSES! For Complex Families

NEED NEW GLASSES?

Have you ever been to the eye doctor and found out that your vision prescription has changed? Similarly, there are factors that can limit our relational vision, and it can change over time as well. It can be helpful to our vision of our relationships to look through different lenses. Below I share some thoughts on different types of lenses for you to consider - especially if there are any hints or clues that your current lens might be causing you to miss something.

Four Foundational Commitments of Adoptive Parents: Protect, Provide, Guide…& Pray Persistently

Welcome to Legacy Living Today – I’m Dawn Baggett – today's episode of the podcast is especially for any and all adoptive mothers looking for support, advice and tips gathered and gleaned from experienced moms. Today we're discussing the foundational responsibilities of parenting: protection, provision, and guidance. Plus, particularly if you are a Christian it is crucial to pray for each of your children and your family persistently.

#1 - Protection is about keeping your children safe from physical or psychological harm. It can involve a variety of issues that can come up such as shielding them from dangers such as drugs and alcohol, protecting their innocence in terms of exposure to inappropriate topics or activities, providing physical boundaries around the home, enforcing rules that keep your kids away from potentially dangerous situations, setting limits on screen time and internet usage, and more. If this all sounds overwhelming, I totally get it. And I’ll remind you of the old saying, “Don’t borrow trouble” a biblical principle found in Jesus’ famous “Sermon on the Mount” in Matthew 6:34 –

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Each day has enough trouble of its own.”

Dawn Baggett & Legacy Life Coaching

Hello - I’m Dawn Baggett and I want to welcome you to Legacy Life Coaching. I believe Christian coaching to be the best avenue for standing in the gap for adoptive moms and their families.

As an adoptive and special needs mom, I know firsthand the challenges that arise when navigating the intricate world of parenting in the midst of complex family dynamics.

As a post-adoption coach it's my mission to stand in the gap for second moms. There’s no erasing their history or the effects of our children’s first parents, or the traumas of losing them.

Along with my experiences as a mom, my legal education, experiences and life coach training have given me a unique perspective on how to approach and overcome obstacles that are often a part of these complex families, from trauma-based challenges, to attachment-related difficulties, to the lack of recognition and understanding of family, friends and even those in the current systems - medical, mental health, legal and educational - that are often ill-equipped for these types of challenges as I know first-hand.

Additionally, through my research and observations of other moms in similar situations, I’ve gained invaluable insights that can be applied to even the most baffling of circumstances.

My best clients will be willing to do the work to successfully continue the legacy of faith they’ve already begun. If that describes you, then contact me to find out how you can put me on your team with Legacy Life Coaching.
