You leave the hospital with a car seat check. Nobody checks whether you have a plan.
Most new parents have no will, no named guardian, and no plan for who’s legally authorized to care for their child if something happens to them. It’s not because they don’t care — it’s because nobody hands you that paperwork, and once sleep deprivation and daily survival take over, it’s easy to keep postponing.
Ready or Not: The New Parent Kit closes that gap. Built from 36 years of parenting — bio, step, married, single, divorced — plus 15+ years of hospital and care-coordination work, this is the conversation and the paperwork that builds the safety net underneath your child, whether you’re parenting with a partner or on your own.
Inside, 8 modules:
•The guardianship conversation — with a co-parent, or with yourself
•Naming guardians — how the process works, and why a backup matters
•The documents new parenthood requires — Will, life insurance, your own healthcare directive, and a temporary caregiver authorization letter almost no one knows to get
•Baby’s paper trail — birth certificate, Social Security number, insurance enrollment
•Financial foundations — savings, 529s, and budgeting for the first year
•An emergency contact map for when someone needs to step in fast
•Staying steady — protecting yourself and your support system through the transition
Built for bio, step, adoptive, and kinship parents alike — 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 family grows.
