Adoption Assistance

Supporting employees and building a family-friendly workplace

Adoption Assistance is an employer-sponsored benefit that reimburses employees for eligible adoption-related expenses — such as legal fees, agency costs, travel, and more. With adoption costs averaging $40,000 — $50,000, this program offers meaningful financial support during a life-changing transition.
