Hello, as with many others i'm a newbie on mumsnet (although i often read the funny links others send around).
My husband and i are currently going through the adoption process, and so far so good. The one frustration i have come across is that my place of work only provides SAP. The company maternity policy is really good and i'm gutted that they seem to be placing a value on a maternal child, over an adopted one.
I want to challenge them on this and was wondering if anyone else had done the same and had any success? I have asked my union rep to become involved and have full support of my management, but they don't think there is much hope as it will have to include a change in policy which will have to go to the board for approval and this is at a time when they are doing everything they can to make savings.
No other woman in the company has adopted before so there is nothing to go on. The only other person who has is male and took the standard paternity.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks
Here are some suggested organisations that offer expert advice on adoption.
