Summary
This bill would grant 21 days of leave to active-duty service members who are in the process of adopting a child. Under this proposal, the leave must be used in connection with a qualifying adoption, and in cases where both parents are members of the military, only one parent would be eligible to take this specific leave. The legislation aims to provide military families with dedicated time to manage the legal and personal requirements of bringing a new child into their home.
