adoption insurance

Also called adoption cancellation insurance, adoption insurance is relatively new to the field of insurance. This form of insurance will pay for expenses in the event that a birth mother in a U.S. adoption does not go through with the planned adoption. According to Best's Review-Property-Casualty, coverage is available for adoption payments of $5,000, $10,000, $15,000 and $30,000. MBO Insurance Brokers, in Menlo Park, California, underwritten by Kemper Insurance Company in Long Grove, Illinois, offers adoption insurance nationwide.
