My Journey to Becoming The Post Adoption MOM Coach!

My Journey to Becoming The Post Adoption MOM Coach!

Empowering Christian Moms to Thrive After Adoption

As a former attorney turned devoted mother‑coach, I bring a rare blend of legal precision, deep compassion, and lived‑in faith‑filled resilience to every family I serve. 


My journey—raising three biological children, adopting four more, navigating two heartbreaking miscarriages, and walking alongside children battling chronic illness, trauma, and behavioral challenges—has forged a perspective that only someone who has truly walked the path can offer.




Why My Story Matters to You

  • Strategic Insight: My law background equips me to dissect complex family dynamics, advocate effectively with schools, healthcare providers, and agencies, and help you protect your family’s rights and wellbeing.
  • Holistic Healing: From witnessing miraculous recoveries after life‑threatening surgeries to experiencing divine protection during perilous adoption moments, I understand how spiritual breakthroughs intertwine with everyday struggles.
  • Real‑World Coach: Trained in modern coaching methodologies and alternative health practices, I translate theory into actionable steps that restore confidence, strengthen marriages, and rebuild a mother’s sense of purpose.

What You’ll Gain

When you partner with me, you receive a trusted confidante who:

  1. Validates Your Pain and Triumphs – I honor every scar and every miracle, recognizing that both shape a resilient mother.
  2. Creates Tailored Roadmaps – Combining legal savvy, therapeutic insight, and faith‑centered guidance, we develop practical strategies for navigating school systems, medical teams, and relational conflicts.
  3. Promotes Spiritual Renewal – Together we explore how God’s hand continues to work in your family, turning obstacles into testimonies of His grace.

A Message of Hope

You are not alone in the maze of post‑adoption life. With an insightful coach who has stood where you stand—balancing courtroom logic, courtroom chaos, and divine wonder—you’ll discover renewed confidence, stronger marriages, and a flourishing identity as the mother God called you to be.

Let’s walk this journey together, turning every challenge into a testimony of triumph.

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, with my family you name it and I’ve probably dealt with it at some level —
- navigating attachment issues, 
- trauma, 
- language barriers,
- baffling behaviors,
- special needs,
- accusations,
- chronic illness
- and more…

...with challenges & chaos that have both tested and refined my relationships, my mom role and my Christian faith.  

I’ve found that patterns and dynamics 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"  (step-moms and kinship caregivers 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 much love,
