NEWARK, N.J.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- For the sixth consecutive year, Prudential Financial, Inc. (NYS: PRU) earned a spot on the Dave Thomas Foundation's "2012 Best Adoption-Friendly Workplaces List."

"Prudential's generous adoption, foster care and maternity benefits are all very much aligned with our support for work and family and diversity.

Prudential employees are reimbursed up to $10,000 per adopted child and receive up to 26 weeks of parental leave. There is no limit on the number of adoptions that can be covered in a year.
