I just wrote a series of posts on adoption leave.<br /><br />I look forward to following along with your journey, and I wish you all the best!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7190144653162636685.post-83787991288661028202011-06-30T09:15:23.684-05:002011-06-30T09:15:23.684-05:00I have to use my vacation/sick as well.

It shouldn't be a medical / disability benefit - it should be a family benefit for anyone who brings a child into the family - regardless of how. I hope you can come up with a way to figure this out!
