The Ground Is Falling Out From Under You….

…And You Need a Plan By Friday!

Nobody warned you about this part.

Not the homestudy. 
Not the training hours. 
Not the sweet Instagram posts about redeemed stories and forever families.

They told you love would be enough. 

They didn't tell you what to do when love is unquestionably present — and something is still missing.

Now you're living inside a crisis you never imagined or planned for:

  • Your child's behavior has crossed into dangerous territory — physically, sexually, destructively — and it's escalating.
  • Someone close to you is minimizing it, enabling it, or outright blaming you for it. Your husband. The school. A therapist. The agency. Maybe all of them in rotation.
  • You're pinned inside an impossible decision: keep an unsafe situation under your roof, or find another solution and risk confirming to a child who's already been abandoned, orphaned, or abused that people leave.
  • Or maybe you finally got your child real help — and now they're discharging early, siding with your child's rehearsed version of events, and sending it all back into your kitchen just as your other kids started breathing again.
  • Your marriage is at the breaking point. Your body and mind are running on fumes. And the circle of people who once supported you & brought casseroles has quietly gone silent — because “you asked for this”, remember?

Dawn T Baggett, The Post-Adoption MOM Coach


I'm not going to tell you love fixes this. You already love your child. 

What's missing is a strategy — one that workswith your faith, your values, and your commitment to every member of your family, not against them…or you.

I'm Dawn. I'm a Christian mom to both biological and adopted children, and a former attorney who spent her career walking into high-stakes messes and building the path through them. I've lived the gap between what the adoption world promises and what actually arrives home in the minivan. I know this terrain from both sides — the mother's chair and the strategist's desk.
A High Stakes Strategy Session is me putting both of those chairs at your table for 90 minutes.

High Stakes Strategy Session



A 90-Minute 1:1 Deep Dive for Second Moms in the Fire

When you're facing a moment that matters—a hard conversation, a boundary you can't back down from, a decision that shapes your family's future—you don't need another article. You need a plan, a partner, and the peace of God.

Limited sessions each month so Dawn can give you her undivided focus.

You're standing at a moment that matters.

Maybe You're Facing…

  • A blow-up with your teen that keeps replaying
  • A silent standoff with your husband
  • A boundary you've been afraid to hold
  • A pull toward giving up on the family you prayed for

And You're Thinking…

  • "I can't afford to react wrong this time."
  • "I need wisdom—not more opinions."
  • "I want to hear God clearly on this."
  • "I need someone who gets second-mom life."

You don't need a program right now. You need a plan for this.

The High Stakes Session

Built for your moments that matter…moments like this…built for moms just like you…


One focused 90-minute deep dive. One prayerful, prepared coach. One clear next-step plan you can walk out this week.

What It Is

$750 single session · Private · Approximately 90 Minutes

Before we meet:  You'll complete a confidential questionnaire that tells me the real terrain — the players, the enabling, the deadline you're staring down. I use it to draft a preliminary strategybeforeour session, so we don't spend your 90 minutes on intake. We start at strategy.

In the session:  We build your working battle plan, live:  
✔️ Your true priorities right now (they're probably not what the loudest voice in your life says they are)
✔️ Your next moves — concrete, ordered, doable this week
✔️ What to say — and refuse to say — to the spouse, school, therapist, or agency currently making things worse
✔️ How to protect your other children and your marriage in the meantime
✔️ A path through the decision you're staring down, with your faith and your integrity intact

Within 24–48 hours after:  Your finished strategy map arrives in polished, written form. Because when you're depleted and the pressure spikes again, your plan needs to exist somewhere other than your exhausted memory.

For the next 1–2 weeks:  Text access to me while you begin implementing. Ambush situations don't schedule themselves politely around appointments.
And if you later want deeper transformation, everything you paid for this session is credited toward my 12-week Anchored program when it reopens. But that's a conversation for calmer days. This is about this week.

What You'll Walk Away With

This isn't therapy. It isn't a course. It's a strategic, Spirit-led war-room session for the moments that matter most.

✔ Clarity on the real issue

Cut through the noise and name what's actually happening beneath the surface of this situation so that you can move forward with focused attention unhindered by the drama around you. 

✔ A Faith-anchored plan

Your Crisis Protocol — Concrete next steps, boundary language, and scripts—grounded in Scripture, not guesswork.

✔ Courage to move forward

Trade the paralyzed "what do I do?" for a settled, God-empowered next step you can actually take.

✔ Peace that isn't dependent on them

Stability that lives inside you—even if your husband, your child, or your circumstances don't shift yet.

✔ A written strategy document

Your session distilled into a personalized action plan you can revisit, pray over, and lean on — your in session finalized Crisis Protocol emailed to you so you do not have to rely on memory. 

✔ Someone who truly gets it

A coach who has lived post-adoption motherhood and holds your story with faith, honesty, and hope.

Is This Right For You?

The High Stakes Strategy Session is for the second mom who needs help right now—not next quarter.

✅ This is for you if…

  • You're an adoptive mom in an active crisis — or a decision with a clock on it
  • You still have your faith, your spine, and at least a fraction of fight left
  • You want strategy, counsel, and truth — not another person telling you to have more patience
  • You're ready to act on a real hammered out plan, not just  ruminate

⚠️ This isn't for you if…

    • You want sympathy without strategy
    • You're holding out hope that someone will finally tell you love + time fixes everything
    • You're not yet willing to make hard decisions
  • I decline wrong-fit requests quickly and kindly — out of respect for the women who need this slot.

Frequently Asked

How is this different from the Anchored 12-week program?
Anchored is a 12-week partnership for deep work and ongoing transformation. The High Stakes Strategy Session is a single, focused 90-minute deep dive for a specific moment or decision—perfect if you need clarity fast or want to experience Dawn's coaching before committing to a longer partnership.
What happens after I buy?
You'll be taken to a short questionnaire so Dawn can prepare specifically for your situation. Then you'll schedule your 90-minute session and receive intake materials by email. If it appears from your answers that this isn’t the right fit for you right now, you’ll be fully refunded. 
Is this confidential?
Absolutely. What you share stays between you, Dawn, and the Lord. This is a safe, prayer-covered space.
Can I apply this toward the Anchored program later?
Yes. If you decide to continue with Anchored within 30 days of your session (or when Anchored next reopens) your $750 investment is credited toward the program.
Do you offer refunds?
Because sessions are 1:1 and prepared for you specifically, sessions are non-refundable, but they can be rescheduled with 48 hours notice. However, if your application questionnaire indicates that the High Stakes Strategy Session would not be a good fit, your payment is refunded in full. 

Your next step doesn't have to be a guess.

Here's what a decade-plus of crises teaches you: the window between "concerning"
 and "unmanageable" closes faster than anyone warns you.

One session. One plan. One woman moving forward—anchored in Christ, not tossed by the waves.
