Employer Benefits Adoption Package

Employees recognize adoption is a viable way to build a family. With this in mind many companies offer employer benefit adoption packages which will reimburse families for some adoption expenses. Company packages may vary, but many employer benefits adoption packages cover the legal fees, court fees, agency fees, medical examinations, immunizations, and transportation to bring the child to the United States. All expenses are covered up to a pre-designated limit which is likely to be lower than the full cost of the adoption. General fees which may not be covered include expenses to adopt stepchildren, the cost of personal items during the adoption process, and pledges, gifts and support fees for the adoption agency.

Talk to your employer if you have questions about whether your employer offers an employer benefits adoption package. If your employer does not offer these benefits it may be time to petition your employer to start offering these benefits.
