Maternity Leave for Adoption

Often those lists are a bit out of date.
Computer Associates also has a "gift" of $8K so you don't even get taxed on it.

Plus in most companies you need to work there for 1 year before using an adoption benefits. If you work for a rather decent sized company you can request that they begin a program for adoption benefits. My friend did this at CA for "adoption leave" so she could get benefits during her leave just like pregnant moms. So you can help your company see why these benefits are good for everyone.

Thank You!

My company gives (I believe) $5000 towards adoptions plus 6 weeks off. I get 12 weeks for maternity leave, fathers get 4 weeks.
