2024 100 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces List

The Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption partnered with RTI International to survey employers across the United States to conduct the Best Adoption-Friendly Workplace survey.

The 18th annual 100 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces list includes a diverse group of organizations, representing 22 industries. Read the press release to learn more.

Participants were scored based on three criteria: financial reimbursement (45%), paid leave (45%) and the percentage of employees eligible for those benefits (10%). Employers that completed the survey offer an average of $16,422 in financial reimbursement for adoption costs, up 10% from 2023. The average amount of paid leave is 9.6 weeks, an increase of 6% since 2023. The amount of paid leave offered to foster parents also grew to an average of 9.7 weeks, up 3% from last year. More companies are incorporating foster parent leave into their overall paid leave program and offering them the same amount of time off as adoptive and biological parents.
