Why Adoption Parenting Is Different
Adoption Parenting Coaching with Maxine Golden
The first group starts January 20. Join the waitlist to get first access and the founding-member price.
Join the free waitlist. It takes 30 seconds.
A book. A course. A list of tips.
Then the meltdown happens at 5pm, and you're on your own again.
Calm Home, Connected Child is different. For 16 weeks, you meet live with me and a small group of foster, adoptive and kinship parents, in person in Brandon or online. You bring what happened this week. We work through it together.
You know what your child's body is telling you. You know what to say. You repair faster afterward. And slowly, your child starts turning toward you instead of away.
That's a calm home. That's a connected child.
I've worked with foster, adoptive and court-involved families for more than 25 years. I'm trained in TBRI, Polyvagal Theory and Brainspotting. I wrote The Adoption Parenting Playbook.
And I'm an adoptive mom myself.
You've read the books.
It's that knowing and doing are different things in the middle of a meltdown. Change happens with practice, feedback and someone in your corner. That's what coaching gives you.
Most parenting tools were built for children who haven't lived through loss. And too many families are handed a child with a file, a court date and very little support.
You were never meant to do this alone.
The first group starts Wednesday, January 20, 2027. Each group is capped at 12 parents so everyone gets real help.
The waitlist hears first, before doors open to the public, and gets the founding-member price of $147 a month instead of $197.
I'm Maxine Golden, Parent Coach and Clinical Director at Center for Parent Coaching. I've sat in the meetings, stood in the courtrooms and lived the 3am wake-ups.
I don't judge you. I equip you.
Join the waitlist. It's free and takes 30 seconds. Waitlist members get:
When doors open, membership includes 16 weekly live coaching calls with me, the Cool, Calm & Connected Children audio course ($97 value), call replays, printable cheat sheets and a small group of parents who understand adoption.
16 weeks of private coaching with me would cost $2,400. Membership is $197 a month. Founding members pay $147 a month, and you can cancel anytime.
Maybe this isn't for you. If home already feels calm, you don't need it.
If it doesn't, you have three options.
Option 1: Do nothing. Keep going the way you are, and hope next year feels different.
Option 2: Do it yourself. Read more books. Watch more videos. Try to remember it all at 5pm when the meltdown starts.
Option 3: Let me walk beside you. Every Wednesday, a small group, a clear 16-week path and someone in your corner.
Which one will be easier for you?
Most parents say they want a calmer home. Fewer take the first step. If you've read this far, I think you're one of the ones who will.
The waitlist is free. The first group has 12 places.
Only you can decide.
