THE POST ADOPTION MOM COACH

Providing Post Adoption Support from a Biblical Perspective for “Second Moms” in Adoptive & Blended Families



A Prayer of Restoration

A Prayer of Restoration*

The following prayer is based on a Bible passage from 2 Corinthians 13.  When we don’t have the words to pray, we can trust God to provide them. 

Heavenly Father,

I lift up my precious child/children to You, asking that they may continually examine their heart and faith. Grant them the wisdom and clarity to test their own feelings, thoughts, values and beliefs, realizing deeply that Christ Jesus dwells within them.

I trust in Your guidance and pray that they will stand firm in their faith, passing every test that comes their way.

Lord, I ask that You guard their heart and actions, so they will do nothing wrong. Not for the sake of appearances, or for my sake, but because doing what is right brings glory to Your name. 

May they hold fast to the truth and live in accordance with Your will, for I know that nothing can stand against Your truth.

Thank You, Father, for the strength You give us, even in our weaknesses. Strengthen my child/children to overcome any and all of my deficiencies as their parent. 

My deep desire is for my child/children to be strong in spirit and fully restored in their relationship with You. I place them in Your loving hands, trusting in Your perfect plan. 

In Jesus' name, I pray,

Amen.


As always, 
KEEP LEARNING - KEEP GROWING - KEEP LOVING
💜🩷♥️
Dawn

Dawn Baggett & Post Adoption Coaching

 

Hi there, I'm Dawn Baggett! 

As a mom in an adoptive family that includes the blending of both, biological and adopted children, I've been through it all—navigating attachment issues, trauma, special needs and chronic illness...with challenges & chaos that have both tested and refined my Christian faith.   

In addition to my own personal parenting experiences, my law degree from the University of Alabama, various certificates and courses on topics ranging from coaching to trauma to relationships, as well as my research & observations of the experiences of others have all brought invaluable insights into supporting adoptive moms like myself.  I found that patterns and dynamics that I struggled with were often the SAME ones that were repeated again and again in other homes of adoptive families like mine and within those of similar "second moms" like step-moms and kinship caregivers who are raising children and teens that have had a break (for whatever reason) from their first mom. 

I truly believe in the power of faith-driven coaching to support "second moms" navigating the unique challenges of raising children with these often-complex backgrounds. My mission is to stand with you, offering guidance and understanding when the rest of your world seems unsure how to help, or even multiplies the problems that you are working so hard to overcome for your child and your family. 

If you're ready to continue your journey with a desire to walk out your faith in your family and mom role in particular, I'm here to be in your corner. Let's connect and explore how we can put together a personal plan that serves you!

With love,
