Mistake Number Nine: Going without term Life Insurance of at least $250,000

Very simply...You are worth more then $250,000. You are priceless....however, many people simply skip the step that costs approximately $300.00 for a term Life Insurance Policy per year and the piece of mind that comes with it. Your husband or children are named as beneficiaries should something catastrophic happen to you during the surrogacy arrangement. I have yet to hear of any woman dying during a surrogacy pregnancy or birth but some have come close. Protect your family and insist on a policy that will help fill the financial hole that will be left behind should anything happen to you. You are irreplaceable as a wife and a mother but a life insurance policy can go a long way to making life a tiny bit easier for your loved ones should anything happen to you.
