Adoptive mom wants same maternity leave and benefits biological mothers receive

EXCERPTS
CALGARY — Eight months after her son William was born, Lindsey Salloway’s paid parental leave was up. As an adoptive parent, she wasn’t eligible for the extra 15 paid weeks that maternity leave would provide.
Now, the Calgary mother is hoping to change those laws.
When her 35 weeks of parental leave came to an end, Salloway made the difficult decision to stay another 15 weeks with her child, without pay.
