I did not have insurance when I completed my initial home study. The social worker simply put in the report that I would obtain health insurance coverage for my child upon completion of the adoption. This seemed to satisfy the USCIS office and I received my 171h approval.

BTW----you might keep searching. I initially had trouble locating an insurance company that would insure me at a halfway reasonable rate. I finally asked some of the insurance companies that were so high if they knew of a company that offered reasonable plans for individuals not covered by group insurance. Turns out they referred me to BC/BS for our state and they offer very reasonable individual plans. So thankfully, now my children and I are all covered. And thank goodness because my youngest has been to the Emergency Room 3 times since his arrival in August. He has a tendency to run really high fevers which scare his mommy.
