National Adoption Month- Saturday was the 6th day of the month and the adoption related task was to blog about adoption awareness. I do this pretty regularly, but I was out of town on Saturday so I am catching up with a quick post today.

Today's task is to bake cookies for the individuals who assisted you in the adoption process. A great idea! Our adoption agency is in San Antonio, TX I'm afraid our cookies would be stale by the time they arrived...bummer.

That's cool, thanks for sharing...I left you an award on my blog, it's the Cherry on Top award!!
Wow, thanks!
My employer did nothing for those who adoptive - not even paid leave. When I was in the process of adopting my first child, I went to HR and talked to them about it. Thankfully they realized it was completely unfair and wrong. Soon afterwards they implemented a reimbursement policy. I would have also liked paid time off but I'm glad my company did something. I think people who believe in adoption should simply ask the question to their employer as you never know what will happen.
meant to say those who adopted...
