Dave Thomas Recognizes VML 2025

VML has been recognized by the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, earning a place among the Top 100 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces in the U.S.

VML ranked #29 overall in the U.S. on the list, marking a significant leap from last year’s #67 ranking.

By climbing 38 spots in just one year, VML also moved from second place to first within our industry, showcasing our dedication to fostering a workplace culture where families come first. Additionally, we're honored to be featured on the Breakout List for our dedicated paid parental leave program supporting foster care families.

The Dave Thomas Foundation evaluates companies based on their adoption assistance programs, including financial reimbursement, paid leave, and overall accessibility of resources. VML’s benefits package reflects these priorities, offering robust support to employees navigating the adoption process.

VML offers financial assistance for adoption-related expenses, including fees, travel, and legal costs, incurred by full-time employees. Additionally, the company also provides 12 weeks of paid parental leave for both adoptive and foster parents.

At VML, we strive to provide benefits that truly matter and make a difference in the lives of our employees. VML, at its core, is about family, and we believe in supporting our employees in their path to parenthood through our robust adoption and parental leave programs.
