adoption Unpaid leave under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act is also available to Adoptive Parents. This act allows individuals to take up to 12 weeks off, unpaid but with benefits, without jeopardizing employment.

The leave is not exclusively an adoption benefit since it is available for anyone who works for a company with 50 or more employees. However, it can provide valuable time for a newly Adoptive Family. Some states require employers to offer their workers a minimum amount of parental leave time.
