benefits
Hi!
When I started my boss was giving me maternity leave but now new boss is "thinking it over". So I'm putting together a request. I too have sent for the Dave Thomas Foundation materials. They send you a sample letter, statistics on how many companies offer adoption benefits and what type. It ranges from giving you the same benefits as a biological parent to paying for part of the adoption expenses.
One benefit that doesn't cost a company anything but helps us, is to allow adoption expense as part of your Sec 125 cafeteria plan. You can take money out of your paycheck pre-tax for adoption expenses up to $10,000. It can't overlap with any expenses you claim for the tax credit, but for those of us adopting from G, finding $20,000 in expenses isn't a problem! LOL!
Good luck!
