In today's digital age, sharing our children's lives online has become second nature, yet there are hidden perils that demand our attention.

Behind every cute photo and shared milestone lies a digital footprint that can expose our families to privacy risks and unintended consequences. From facial recognition technology and geotagging to cyber-grooming and identity theft, the online world presents threats that can affect our children's safety and well-being.

But there's hope—by adopting privacy-first practices, educating our kids about digital footprints, and leveraging secure platforms, we can share family moments thoughtfully. Join us in exploring how to strike the perfect balance between celebrating life’s joys and safeguarding our children’s futures.

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!
