I have heard that life insurance is something they look at in the homestudy process.
Does anyone know what the average amount they want each potential adoptive parent to have is?
You'd have to ask your agency if there is a requirement. From a financial perspective though, a good rough estimate is 10x your income. Stay at home moms should also have life insurance. My DH and I both have 10x his income (I'm a stay at home mom). That way we are both completely taken care of - and so are the kids - if something happens.
My dad died in a farming accident when I was 2 and my brother was 4. My mom struggled. Life insurance has always been non-negotiable for DH and I.
Buy term life insurance, whole life is a rip off!!
