I work in higher education, and they only offer the 12 weeks unpaid Family leave. I'm petitioning for at least 2 weeks paid, but have had no luck so far. I was told if they start offering paid time off for people who have not given birth, they would have to start offering paid time-off to biological fathers too. (Which sounds fine to me, but they're worried about increasing the costs.) My hubby gets two weeks paid time and then we'll both be using vacation. Neither of our organizations offer expense reimbursement.
