the placement with the employee of a child for adoption or foster care and to care for the newly placed child within one year of placement;

a serious health condition that makes the employee unable to perform the essential functions of his or her job;

Twenty-six work weeks of leave during a single 12-month period to care for a covered servicemember with a serious injury or illness if the eligible employee is the servicemember’s spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin (military caregiver leave).
