Anyone's company offer adoption benefits? Beyond the Family and medical leave act stuff?
There are actually some companies who offer up to $15,000 is assistance.
My DH's company does not (Yet). I received some information packets from the Dave Thomas Foundation and gave them to the Executive Secretary and the head of HR. They said they would look into it. (Working in a small subsidiary of a LARGE company helps to get the bug in the right ear.)
Heck the worst thing they can say is no, and the best thing would be to start a great benefit and take off a bit of financial burden. If it just pays for my FedExing what a blessing that would be!
You can order packets (they are free) and see the list of employers who offer benefits and what type they offer:

This is part of the Dave Thomas Foundation.
I hope this helps
