Employer Adoption Benefits

I recently had a meeting with the president of the company I work for, and made a proposal requesting that they provide formal adoption benefits to all employees (and of course me in particular.) I essentially asked for benefits equal to what biological moms are offered. I should hear an answer sometime this month.

Anyone out there who would like to encourage your employer to consider adoption benefits, I found a boatload of helpful information on these web sites:
