I work for a public school system in MA. You know, the kind of organization which is supposed to care about kids and families and building strong bonds within families? So, of course, the school system offers only the federally mandated 12 weeks of unpaid leave (I was not allowed to use ANY of my over 100 accrued sick days as I had not given birth) and of course offers no reimbursement. What companies/organizations don't all seem to realize is that, when offering adoption benefits, they not only help the family but build employee loyalty to the company. I now still have my over 100 sick days and use them whenever my daughter or I have a sniffle, a sneeze, or even mental fatigue. I now truly feel I owe NOTHING to my employer.
