In my experience at least:

• Thousands of hours invested in directly providing care, travel, and other services
• Hundreds of thousands of dollars invested in education, food, clothing, etc.
• The sacrifice of one parent's career
• Choosing housing locations based primarily on educational and social opportunities for the children, rather than convenience for employment or entertainment

Are these similar to dying for a child? I don't know. It's possible that the sum of the financial equivalent of the above is comparable to a statistical life, but I'm just giving rough estimates.
