If you adopt a baby, it by law takes 3-4 months to get the final adoption paperwork done due to a supervisory period. SoM will not give paid parental leave until that final adoption paperwork is signed by a judge.

Also, SoM thinks it will be a bad precedent to allow a brand new adoptive parent to work from home for the first month after bringing a baby home. Fuck these people. Oh, and there is a STRONG push by management for adoptive parents to never take the paid parental leave since "it's not a newborn anymore." I am beyond disgusted by how our government is treating its employees.
