Many law firms created adoption benefits in the 1990’s to correspond to increasing maternity and child care benefits. Although large corporations have continued to be active supporters, interest in many law firms waned until recently. The renewed interest seems to have occurred as firms seek to tweak their benefits package for competitive purposes. The benefits range from time off to cash payments to balance what is perceived as an inequity with health care maternity benefits. For more information and sample policies go to the web site of the Dave Thomas Foundation at www.davethomasfoundation.org.
