Am I overthinking this! Re:foster care then adoption leave

❔

Can someone explain this to me like I’m a child?

A foster baby was placed with me a few months ago. It will likely lead to adoption in a year or so.

The website reads that a new parent can take PFL when they have “welcomed a new child into the family in the past 12 months either through adoption or foster care”.

Can I take half of the paid leave now (within 12 months of his foster care placement) and the other half after he’s officially adopted (right after he’s legally adopted by me but more than 12 months from placement)?

Thanks!

No, all 8 weeks need to be taken in the first 12 months.
