Employee Adoption Benefits
An
adoption benefits plan is a company-sponsored program that financially
assists or reimburses employees for expenses related to the adoption
of a child and/or provides for paid or unpaid leave for the adoptive
parent employee.
The
National Adoption Center, through its Adoption Friendly
Workplace program, which is generously supported by the Dave
Thomas Foundation
for Adoption, is the best place to start. This newly updated
site is packed with the information you need to get your organization
on the track to being adoption friendly.
