Adoption Insurance: http://www.adoptionassurance.com/home.aspx
If you reside in CA, FL, HI, LA, NJ, NY, PA or
TX, you should consider purchasing Adoption Assurance, insurance for adoptions.
The adoption may occur in any state. The policy will reimburse the insured for
eligible expenses when a birthparent terminates the adoption plan. This
insurance policy can be obtained online through the Heffernan Insurance Brokers
website. Contact Art Adams, CPCU, 800-966-9304,

Many employers offer a range of benefits for families who adopt, including paid or unpaid leave when the child arrives in the home, reimbursement of a portion of the adoption expenses, assistance with adoption information, and referral services. Corporate human resources departments will provide employees with information about available benefits. The National Adoption Center publishes the Guide For Employee Benefits.
