Section 01E .1909 - LEAVE ADMINISTRATION FOR ADOPTIONS OR FOSTER CARE PLACEMENTS

(a) When a child is given up for adoption or placed in foster care, from that point forward:

(1) The birth parent shall continue to be eligible for the paid parental leave listed in Rule .1904(a)(1)(A) of this Section for physical and mental recuperation; and

(2) Each parent shall not be eligible for further use of the paid parental leave listed in Rule .1904(a)(1)(B) of this Section for bonding with the child.

(b) When a prospective adoptive parent or foster parent expects an adoption or placement, but it does not occur, it does not produce paid parental leave under this Section. However, agencies can allow adequate time for bereavement to the persons who would have become parents, using sick leave, vacation leave, bonus leave, compensatory time, and any other leave options that may be available to the employee.
