Miyoshi Lee, a director and U.S. head of real time payments at Bank of America, never expected she would have trouble getting pregnant. But after she and her husband spent several years trying to have a baby on their own with no success, she realized it was time to get some help.

One of the first places Lee turned? Her employer. Bank of America has a generous family planning benefits program that provides guidance, support, insurance coverage for fertility treatments and up to $20,000 in reimbursements. All of this helped Lee adopt her two children: a daughter in 2019 and a son whose adoption was finalized just in time for Thanksgiving of 2021.
