Are all parents eligible to take leave when a child is born, adopted or placed in the home?

All parents are eligible! Moms, dads, non-birth parents and guardians are eligible for paid family leave to bond with a child coming into their home through birth, adoption or foster placement within 12 months of the date the child first is placed in the home.

A parent who gives birth may also take medical leave during pregnancy or to recover after the baby is born.
