My wife and I are planning on adopting a little boy, and we start parenting classes this month. 
I was wondering if any of you have heard of an insurance company paying leave for adopting parents?

    My company just rolled that out this year.  We have Blue Cross/BlueShield. Think it pays up to 6000 to assist in the adoption fees, and also receive time paid for travel, court, or whatever is needed during the process....up to a certain amount of time like the FMLA process only being an Adotion Assistance Leave.

    To my knowledge it is more of a company incentive though, not the insurance company itself. 

    Congrats on the adoption, and best of luck! Hope this helps.

    Congratulations! Your in for quite a process, but everyone I know who has gone through it says it is worth every second.

    Have your Human Resources department check into the Family Leave Act.  I know it gives time off, I don't know if includes pay.

    Yes that is what I would do. The company I work for might be the only one that offers to pay to help in this situation.  It just started this year for us...
