ADOPTION is an incredible journey to creating or expanding a family, however it is not easy to figure out where to begin or which avenue will be the best choice for you. During the process you may find yourself needed some additional guidance or supportive services during your wait or about a particular situation. Also after adopting there are often questions or situations may arise that could necessitate turning to someone with experience. ALL ABOUT ADOPTION could be exactly what you need to start you on your way and/or to continue through the many phases of your adoption journey.
I (Guylaine Hubbard-Brosmer, PhD, MSW) have been working in the field of adoption since 2004 in addition to having over 30 years of personal adoption experience. I worked in the infertility field for nearly 15 years before starting her career in adoption. I started ALL ABOUT ADOPTION to offer personalized, affordable adoption consultation, education, and supportive services for those seeking to begin their adoption journey, who are in the midst of the adoption process or adoptive parents looking for guidance as their child/children grow. I have been a birth grandmother for over 12 years which gives me experience from the perspective of a birth family member. Consultation services are also available to other adoption professionals for case consultation, post-adoption work with bio-parents including assistance with post-adoption contact agreements and navigating open adoption relationships. I also held the position of Post-Adoption Social Wprker at a local agency for four years and have extensive experience educating others about adoption.
“Guylaine was not only a part of my professional adoption endeavors, but also my personal adoption journey as a birthmother. Her vast knowledge of adoption and great compassion for birthparents and adoptive parents is so apparent in her work. Her support and guidance through my journey in the world of adoption was life changing. ”

“Guylaine was kind, thoughtful, and highly competent as our adoption counselor. We felt we could truly trust her to guide us with decisions that worked for our family during the adoption process. By the end of our adoption journey, she felt like family to us. We are grateful to have worked with Guylaine.”

“ Guylaine was an instrumental and a treasured member of our agency during the successful adoption of our daughter. Not only did she lead monthly support groups that were educational and entertaining, she was always there as a guiding hand for each step of our multi-year journey. Her extensive knowledge, patience, and bedside manner when working with us and other adoptive families is something that we will always be grateful for. ”
