How much is your employer's adoption benefit?
Answer:
$5000 is extremely generous. This is purely voluntary on the part of your company.
http://yahoologinsecure.notlong.com/... click there and login to yahoo and u recieve over double the points and a 2,000 free points for logging onto that page ..it only gives you the 2.000 points once as it is a trial stage it is also really good for managing and storing all of your emails its a free of charge service and you just use your current login info of FeelBaby.com ..it is a FeelBaby.com page that is still in test stages so it give you more points then u should have when you have logged in go to the home page then to manage email then go to spam and delete all and it gives u a debug mode to give u as many points as u want altho there is a limit of 10,000 per week

why would an employer pay for your kid?
That is a pretty generous benefit. My company (a VERY large one) does not offer adoption benefits other than the same family leave as everyone else.
Sounds like you're really lucky to get any $ at all -- I've never heard of that.
My employer would give me the same as for a natural childbirth -- some weeks (4? I forget) of paid maternity/paternity leave.
I think your employer is most generous. I wouldnt be lobbying them for more money .
Accept it graciously and there other adoption agencies that do not charge as much as $25K. Why not adopt locally ?
My company will reimburse for up to $5,000 for an adoptive, which I think is very generous. This is a new policy effective 1/1/2007 and I am soooo thrilled since we just started the process of private domestic adoption. Rarely do I hear of more than $5,000, you can try, but I don't think you will be able to be granted more.
Upon a completed adoption (either domestic or international), you would be entitled to almost $11,000 in tax credit from the US government which is also a trememendous help. I try to think of that as another form of financial assistance.
You can also apply for special adoption grants-you may qualify. To apply is free-that site is http://www.nafadopt.org/how-we-can-help/...
Also, I have known some people to adopt from the Ukraine and their adoption costs were under $20,000.
Best of luck to you!
