Adoption Leave
WOW!! I just got out of a meeting with my company, and they have written an incredible adoption leave policy! I work for a small company (under 50) so FML does not apply for us. They are going to give me what ever maternity leave ammount is (i think 6 weeks) and they are going to pay 2000 dollars of our expenses! It totally did not expect that!

Its great to hear that some companies out there are as considerate about the adoption process as childbirth - enlightened and heartening! Glas to hear this worked out so well for you!
