Every other planning kit assumes your child grows into independence. This one is for when that’s not the plan.
If your child will need care, support, or supervision for life, the usual “turning 18” checklist doesn’t apply — and worse, most of the world’s default paperwork assumes a launch that isn’t coming.
Guardianship that automatically ends at 18. Benefits systems built around “aging out.” School support that stops at a certain birthday. Without a plan built around “always” instead of “eventually,” your child can lose support at exactly the moment they need continuity most.
Ready or Not: The Forever Child Kit is built to close that gap — drawn from 15+ years in care coordination, Medicaid systems, and hospital work, watching families navigate exactly these systems, plus 36 years of parenting in every configuration a family can take.
Inside, 8 modules:
•The conversation — with a co-parent, extended family, and your child, to whatever degree they can participate
•Guardianship & decision-making — what changes at 18, and the alternatives to full guardianship
•The documents that protect benefits — Special Needs Trust, ABLE account, and the Letter of Intent (the one document a future caregiver will thank you for most)
•Navigating the systems — SSI, Medicaid waivers, and the school-to-adult-services handoff
•Sibling & family planning — naming future caregivers deliberately, not by default
•An emergency contact and care map for when someone needs to step in fast
•Staying steady — protecting yourself through a marathon, not a sprint
Built for bio, step, adoptive, and kinship parents, and for solo parents just as much as co-parents. Delivered as a fillable PDF — type your answers directly in, no printer required — plus the full workbook.
$127. One-time purchase. Yours to keep, revisit, and update as your child grows.
