Until it actually happens and the parents are dealing with the kid(s) on a day-to-day basis, I don't think it is actually possible to be well enough prepared for them at all.
The same thing also applies to the amount of dedication and sacrifices a parent is capable of providing. You won't know the limits of what your dedication and sacrifices are until your child tests you on it.
I can sympathize with how some parents have the best intentions prior to having a kid, only to realize that he/she/they are not cut out to raise a child.
