It's not fair for dads!

I just wanted to TOTALLY agree about the dads thing. Although my job allows for paternity leave (if I were a man), my husbands does not. He has over 2 months of accrued sick leave and is not allowed to use it for adoption. He has been speaking to his union rep and may be able to get away with four days off, and one day on, each week, to get around the rules. I agree that fathers, whether biological or adoptive, should get to take leave when there is a new child in the family.

As far as the rest of my message, I am so sorry if I seem to be complaining to much! I am hoping to get my babies soon and am SO excited about it, I just had a bad experience this weekend that has left me kind of down. Mostly, I've been handling it well. I just enjoy being able to post here and talk to others about it!

THANK YOU!!!!!
