<description>&#60;p&#62;I don't know the details since it isn't something that we've looked into personally, but I'm pretty sure my company offers a reimbursement of $5000 or $10,000.

<description>&#60;p&#62;We aren't looking into adoption at the moment, but I found out the other day that we have a $5,000 reimbursement after the adoption is finalized.&#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;We can also take FMLA time for adoptions, but that time wouldn't be paid unless you used a lot of saved up PTO time.

<description>&#60;p&#62;I vaguely remember them discussing it at our Benefits presentation but I had to look it up to be sure. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;My company reimburses upto $5K for adoption costs.  Hmmm, not bad. That could have helped sway us when we were thinking about going the adoption route. Darn. Wish I had known.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Yes, I just discovered it, they reimburse up to 3K in one calendar year.  There are a few stipulations on it (can't be to adopt a family member or a spouses' child, ect.)

<description>&#60;p&#62;I just googled it, and apparently my husband's company has &#34;adoption assistance&#34; but it doesn't say what it is or how much.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Yes, I think it is $5k. They also offer $5k towards infertility treatments (on top of the insurance that covers up to $10k).

<description>&#60;p&#62;Nope, but I've suggested it to HR because we would like to adopt in the future. Maybe they will implement it?

<description>&#60;p&#62;I think my previous company did although I don't recall how much. Both moms and dads also got a parental leave.

<description>&#60;p&#62;i was actually just looking at DH's new company's handbook and while there is a insurance policy that has some infertility coverage, i didn't see anything about adoption costs.

<description>&#60;p&#62;Some companies I've researched have an adoption policy in their company handbook, they provide some assistance (financial) for adoption. &#60;/p&#62;
&#60;p&#62;Does your company provide assistance with adoption costs?
