THe Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA) which DZDST was probably talking about, provides up to 12 weeks of job protection to certain employees in the event they have to be out of work under certain circumstances including the adoption of a child or the placement of a child for foster care. THis is unpaid leave and will typically run concurrent with any paid leave you have with your company. That is the basics of the national rule, some states may offer more.
