What is a VIP Day Intensive & How Can This Help Me??

What is a VIP Day Intensive? And how can this help me?

Very good questions!! 🤗


As a Christian adoptive mother, you’ve embraced a unique calling.  Many of us are blending our families made up of both biological kids and adopted kiddos. Or more than one adopted child.  

It’s not uncommon to face intense dysfunctional behaviors and patterns that can leave you feeling overwhelmed and uncertain about the best path forward.

As a fellow Christian adoptive mom, I understand the non-traditional path we're on. Bringing together a blended adoptive family is an incredible and meaningful journey, filled with love and God's purpose. But, let's be real—it also presents its own set of challenges beyond the run-of-the-mill variety.  Behaviors and patterns you (or those around you) never expected or encountered before can feel daunting, leaving you unsure about the right steps to take

A Guide to Choosing & Pursuing Your Main Mom Objectives

Planting Seeds of Growth in Your Adoptive Family




Have you ever wondered how a tiny seed, when planted in the right environment, receives nurturing care, and is given time to grow, can blossom into a beautiful plant? 

This natural process mirrors the journey many adoptive families embark upon. In the garden of family life, each member is both a gardener and a budding plant, contributing to and benefiting from the nurturing environment of the family. But as with any garden, there are obstacles along the way.

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,
