Q: I am 39 and need to have life insurance as a requirement in order for my wife and I to adapt a baby. I am healthy with recent normal checkup, blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar but the problem is that I am 6'0" and 345 pounds.

A: The weight issue is not really an insurability problem as long as the other indicators are OK. $250,000 of guaranteed level convertible term insurance is only $770 for ten years with one of the largest life insurance companies. To apply, just request that the application be sent by e-mail and then a paramedic will contact you to set an appointment.
