does your job pay 75% maternity leave to fathers?
some companies dont pay for adoption leave. My company treats adoption and maternity...all under the same thing...'Family Leave'....so it doesnt matter which...
but i would check to see if birth dads get the same as birth moms...if not, it could be due to medical reasons.
i understand you think its not fair...but see what dad might get, and then you might see how some dads feel, alot of times they get nothing....
as for people being unsupportive....well, take it with a grain a salt, people just dont understand....we never ran into that problem, so i cant relate....but im sure there are great combacks you can think off, or others....i have read them on here and they are funny
a lack of education doesnt mean they are not being supportive, it just means they are not educated, thats all.
regarding waiting lists....welcome to the club on that....birth or adoption.....we all sit and wait....nothing unusual about that.
congratulations on your new arrivals....thats wonderful....
dont let the system get you down...birth or adoption...the system doesnt work that great...never has, never will....thats where we the parents come in and advocate, educate, and do everything we can to get our children the services they need....
to get our kids services sometimes is a full time job..i know from experience believe me...
