It is assumed that she retured home after that. Adoption concent was signed on March 15, 1965, when Patricia Mary was placed in an agency foster home awaiting adoption. She was baptised that same day as Lisa Anne Guay. Patricia Mary was placed in her adoptive home on December 1, 1965, and the adoption was legalized on July 5, 1968, judgement #833.

Their Story: Patricia Mary's birth parents were engaged to be married. When her mother became pregnant and told the father of it, the engagement was broken off. She was advised by her priest to come to Montreal to give the baby up. She felt she could not give her the care and security she'd need. Lisa's Story: Lisa Anne Guay was adopted by a very nice couple who went on to adopt a boy as well. She had a very good life and is very greatful to her adoptive parents. She'd like to find her birth family so that she can see where she comes from. She has married and has two wonderful sons aged 6 and 4. She just purchased a home and the family is settled in quite nicely. She doesn't want to put undue pressure on anyone. All she wants is to know her Mother, and family. Maybe even her Father and his family. She'd like to send photos of her sons and perhaps ask a few medical questions. (ex: does anyone in the family suffer from Thyroid problems as she's had them since her teenage years.) Everyone needs to know where they come from! Let's give her the best Christmas ever!
