Dawn Baggett & Post Adoption Coaching

 

Hi there, I'm Dawn Baggett! 🎉

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

In addition to my own personal experience, a law degree from the University of Alabama and various coaching certificates, my research & observations of the experiences of others have brought invaluable insights into supporting adoptive moms like myself. 

I truly believe in the power of faith-driven coaching to support "second moms" navigating the unique challenges of raising children with complex backgrounds. My mission is to stand with you, offering guidance and understanding when the rest of your world seems unsure how to help.

If you're ready to continue your journey with a desire to walk out your faith in your family and mom roles, 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,
Dawn
