A child is a parent’s most important asset. When your child is born, you make a solemn promise to nourish and protect them until they reach adulthood. Unfortunately, situations can arise that might prevent us from fulfilling that promise. Thankfully, there are steps that can be taken to safeguard our child’s future if we become unable to do so. As the parent, we can pick a trusted family member or loved one to look after our child’s health and medical needs. We can also make known who we want to take on the role of our child’s guardian should our abilities to care for our child end. These decisions must be made now before it is too late. Our greatest gift to our child is providing them the chance to become a happy and healthy adult.
