Question

My husband and I are teachers for the same district in California. We just adopted a baby from Nevada and our school district says that I do not get any paid leave to bond with our baby. Also, our health insurance through our same district will not insure our baby without a social security card and a birth certificate.

Nevada will not issue a social security card or birth certificate until the adoption is finalized which could take up to a year. Our insurance is only giving us 30 days to enroll her. There are two issues here. The unpaid leave and the uninsured baby. Do we have any legal standing?



Answer

You are going to have to have a lawyer review your district's insurance policy and any laws that govern you.
