Christian Adoptive Parents’ 4 Foundational Commitments

Season 4, Episode 2
 

Four Foundational Responsibilities of Christian Adoptive Parents 


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 & 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!
