I am applying for the BUMG benefit for adoption or surrogacy. I certify that I have read the BUMG Adoption and Surrogacy Benefit Policy and am eligible for this benefit. I am confirming that I am in the custody, care and control of a child (or children) that was placed with me through adoption or surrogacy for the first time and that no more than 12 months have elapsed since this event, or if I am adopting a child previously placed with me through foster care or any other arrangement no more than 12 months have elapsed since the adoption was finalized. If this is an adoption, I certify that the child (or children) is unrelated to me and is not the child of a spouse, partner, or relative.
