The city of Carmel, Indiana has become one of only a handful of cities to provide its employees monetary assistance with adoptions. Beginning January 1st, the city will cover adoption costs of up to $5,000 for city employees.

"Adoptions of Indiana Executive Director Meg Sterchi said Carmel is the first government employer she's heard of that helps employees pay for adoption."

Some critics argue that taxpayer money shouldn't be spent to help government employees adopt children. Money for the adoption assistance will come from the cities health program, which is administered by a third party.
