getting adoption benefits from employer

Was anyone able to get their employer to add adoption benefits? Any other ideas on how to change company policy to help out families wanting to adopt? Thanks.

I just sent you a PM with a link to a sample employer letter/proposal. I just submitted a proposal but haven't heard anything yet!

Hi, I would be interested to hear ideas as well. All the other co. like mine in my area offer the benefits, it would be good if I could get them too.
