I tried to quit (or give notice) this morning that I was leaving my job in June. It's complicated, but basically the funding for my position is being approved by some executive types in Washington. I think (sorry brain fog conversation) after the conversation with my boss -it was suggested that I request Family Medical Leave and take off 3 months...And If I don't like the salary that may be approved from Washington in July that I then make the decision in July/August whether to return in September.
Anywho, there was a conversation whether or not I would be approved for FMLA. I firmly believe I am entitled to FMLA - which allows unpaid leave for up to 3 months for the birth or "placement of a child" for adoption in the home. Hello? Since NY State allows 2nd parent adoption AND the children are firmly placed (and popping, smiling, coo-ing) I am entitled. Let them say otherwise...that would be interesting.

Hi there. I took some FMLA time when Danny was born and all the personnel office suggested I obtain was a letter from the lawyer handling the adoption who simply wrote that Daniel was officially placed with me for adoption as of his DOB. This letter is in my personal file that I keep in case there is ever a question as to why I claimed FMLA. My supervisors approved my request with no question. Hopefully you can do the same? -Monica
