Adoption Conversations
Adoption comes with ups and downs, decisions, or complications - it helps to meet others
going through the
same experience. Although in-person adoption support groups have been SUSPENDED, I am happy to arrange for online (via Zoom) groups if there is interest.
Please Contact Us for questions and/or with interest!
Post-Adoption Family Support
Even before working in the adoption field, I spoke with people about adoption. With over 25 years of personal adoption experience, about 15 years in the adoption field and more than 9 years as a birth grandmother....who better to turn to for guidance, advice and support when adoption issues or relationships need a little extra help.

Matching/Facilitator Services
Since registering as a Facilitator in 2018, Guylaine has worked with five clients, three of whom are now parents. Even in cases where she may not have had the direct placement of the baby, she was still be actively involved in the process by working with the adoptive parents and/or the birthparent. She provides personalized ongoing support to prospective adoptive parents, has conducted a match meeting, written a hospital plan and post-adoption contact agreement, managed birthmother's expenses and provided support to birthparents during the match, as well as following placement.
