military adoption and leave

Originally Posted By MichelleI am active duty and very interested in adoption. I was shocked to know that the Navy does not have a policy toward special family leave.

Although it does not deter me from adopting, I think this does not help the process of adoption. Has anyone faced this? Any suggesions?Thanks
