“I help adoptees gain the clarity and connection they seek so they can move past hurt and into the abundant lives they were created to live.”

Are You Ready?

Kaye O’Neal,

I am an imperfectly perfect, adoptive Mom. My two ‘twenty something’ sons are young men in the early, independent and career stages of life. As an adoptive mom and a successful career professional, I know the interesting challenges and opportunities of life in both arenas. Successful families, especially adoptive families, take great personal strength, preparation, collaboration and faith to see through.

Adoption is a deeply human experience, full of love and not for the faint of heart’. The deep joy of adoption begins first with the deep reality of loss. Adoptees, adoptive parents and birth parents know first hand what that means. As deep as the joy can be pain, uncertainty and strife run parallel. Earlier on, I searched for a coach prepared to help me understand and move forward, to get unstuck. Finding none, I became one. Kaye O’Neal Coaching was founded to help adoptees and parents move through the tough spots and sustain long term family relationships.

Many available adoption resources understand the impact of abandonment and loss from an intellectual place. I’ve learned that unless you are intimately involved in the adoption arena, you don’t fully get it. You may not understand emotionally and intellectually. That’s what I bring to my clients. I coach from a place of understanding. I get it. I know there is more.

As a life and leadership Coach, I help adoptees find joy and peace.

On a personal note, I believe in ‘whole life living’. During my free time you will find me hiking, cooking, wine tasting, reading, hanging out with family and friends, gardening, photographing, praising God for all that He gives to us and Coaching …. not necessarily in that order.
