Adoption and Maternity Leave

It really does depend on your company's policy. If you work for a large enough employer, you'll have FMLA leave, but that isn't paid. If your employer's "maternity leave" is simply short term disability, that won't be available to you. My employer provides one month for everyone (in addition to any STD) and I saved vacation like crazy and took 3 months off, mostly paid. Worth every unpaid penny!! Susan
