Companies Offering Assistance

I was reading a blog, and followed the link to an article about the top 100 adoption friendly companies. There is a detailed listing of how much $$ each company offers and the amount of paid leave available. The top ten have more detailed profiles. I was surprised to read that one of them offered adoption benefits from day 1 of employment. Anyhow, I thought some of you might find this helpful. Switching jobs could help a lot of people who are trying to adopt! I noticed that a company that my brother works for JPMorganChase was number 4. While my brother has corporate job, It would not be hard to get hired at one of their banks.
