We are extremely lucky because both of our employers offer reimbursement. My hubby's company offers $5000 once the adoption is complete. My company will reimburse $10,000 since we use my benefits, and they reimburse as expenses are incurred, so that has been extremely helpful. We are SOOOOO lucky that we get this benefit, otherwise, we would have had to find creative ways to finance the adoption.
I think the "adoption" benefit is a newer concept. My husband's company introduced the benefit beginning in 2004, and my company didn't begin until 2004 or 2005. This being said, it seems as if you may be able to convince your company to "adopt" this benefit. The worse that could happen is they say no, but I think you have a good chance of convincing them!
Best of luck to you with this. It has been such a big help to us, and I think everyone should get that same opportunity!
