[Prototype C] Birth, adoption, placement of child in foster care

This is a prototype illustrating the relationship between benefits and qualifying life events. In this example (prototype C), the benefit hosts all the specific information related to a qualifying event. The qualifying event links to that information on the relevant employee type page, and also shows benefits in common.

Related documents and forms could be either on this main event page, if they are common to all employees, or on benefit sub-pages.
