ADOPTION EDUCATION & PARENT COACHING

REAL GUIDANCE

FROM LIVED EXPERIENCE

Hilary Wilson, founder of Hill Enterprises Atlanta and an adoptive parent, fills a critical gap in the family support ecosystem and helps prospective and current foster or adoptive parents feel more prepared, supported, and confident through adoption education, parent coaching, group support, and speaking engagements rooted in lived experience.

ABOUT HILARY

A PARENT WHO GETS IT

Hill Enterprises Atlanta helps close the gap in the family support ecosystem through an adoption education and parent coaching practice built on lived experience, honest perspective, and the very real realities of parenting through trauma. As an adoptive parent, Hilary has navigated the schools, the doctors, the social workers, the therapists, and the late-night Google searches. She is here not only to share what she has learned, but to walk alongside other families, offer steady encouragement, and acknowledge the challenges that do not always make it into the training manuals.

In addition to her personal connection to adoption, Hilary brings many years of professional experience as a senior HR business partner, where she coached and guided employees across different roles, backgrounds, and stages of growth. She is also a certified Gallup CliftonStrengths Coach and incorporates CliftonStrengths insights into her training to help prospective parents better understand their natural strengths, communication styles, and support needs.

Hilary does not approach this work as a clinician or academic. She brings something different and deeply valuable: calm, emotionally intelligent guidance from someone who continues to live the adoption journey. Someone who has had many hard conversations, partnered with therapists and mental health professionals, made mistakes, adjusted course, and found the humor where she could. Hilary brings a deep desire to fill the significant gap reflected in the broader ecosystem of family support to help families feel prepared, supported, and a little less alone in what can sometimes feel like uncharted territory.

HOW WE HELP

Adoption Education

Go beyond the basics with 4 or 8 guided sessions rooted in real world insight. Learn what the textbooks leave out, from navigating school systems to understanding trauma responses.

Parent Coaching

Guidance for first time adoptive parents, whether in individual or group settings. Practical advice, emotional support, and the words you will need when you have to think on your feet.

Public Speaking

Bringing honest, encouraging adoption perspectives to agencies, organizations, and community groups through engaging speaking engagements.

Community Building

Connecting parents, therapists, and advocates to build a support network that truly surrounds each child and family.

Rooted in Truth™

Adoption Education & Parent Coaching

Rooted in Truth™ is coaching grounded in the Gallup CliftonStrengths framework and real-life experience shared in 4 or 8 sessions: Know Yourself First through Self-Reflection + CliftonStrengths Discovery, Welcome Their Story, Build the Circle, Advocate for the Long Game.
 
Coaching is not therapy, counseling, or clinical intervention, and it is not a substitute for licensed mental health care. If a client’s needs fall outside the coaching scope, Hill Enterprises Atlanta will provide appropriate referrals.

Ideal for pre-adoption, post-placement, foster-to-adopt, agencies and professionals in the adoption and child welfare space. Public speaking engagements are targeted towards agencies, organizations, businesses, and community groups also connected with this work.

Coaching and education sessions navigate personal growth, strengths development, and build a realistic knowledge base of the road ahead intended to support healthy families.

Virtual or In-Person and happy to discuss location and pricing details as required.
