for the newborn child; for placement
with the employee of a son or daughter
for adoption or foster care; to care for
the employee’s spouse, son, daughter, or
parent with a serious health condition;

that makes the employee unable to
perform the functions of the employee’s
job; and to address qualifying exigencies
arising out of the deployment of the
employee’s spouse, son, daughter, or
