Thank you!
34andhopeful,
Thank you for your insight. I did find an adoption parent group in my area that I am going to start attending soon. It will be nice to have other parents to talk to. I never knew how isolating this experience would be. When I see my pregnant friends and they are showered with attention and well wishes. It's not that every experience has been negative. Some have been wonderful. However, I now realize that there is a bias toward adoption, which is very unfortunate. As far as my work situation, it isn't illegal, because my job pays 50% for maternity or adoption. However, our health plan has option "disability" coverage that compensates pregnancy, not adoption, up to 75%. I find it interesting that something "chosen" like pregnancy is classified as a disability. Just as I wouldn't think that an elective surgery such as rhinoplasty would constitute a "disability". Anyway, I appreciate the response and the opportunity to "vent" to others going through the same thing!
Thanks!
Joc
