I am just another 'lowly' User/Patron ...
[ And, I happen to be a Member of the Church ... ]
Just so that you are aware ...
This is an ongoing dilemma, for many Members of the Church.
The matter, has been canvased, on numerous occasions, in the various 'iterations' for the 'FamilySearch' Forums.
One does not really have to be too concerned ...
We have been advised, that regardless if "Ordinances" are done 'Out of Sequence', not to worry; as, those "Ordinances" that are done 'Out of Sequence' simply DO NOT take effect, UNTIL the prerequisite "Ordinances" are "Completed".
And, most importantly ...
"Ordinances" that are done 'Out of Sequence' DO NOT have to be done again; as, they are STILL "Valid".
Here are some "Knowledge Articles" in 'FamilySearch':
Ordinances performed out of order
https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/ordinances-performed-out-of-order
Which states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
Vicarious ordinances performed out of sequence are valid, but they become effective only after the prerequisite ordinances are completed.
------------------
And ...
Correct order of temple ordinances
https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/correct-order-of-temple-ordinances
Which states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
Although vicarious ordinances performed out of sequence are valid, they become effective only after the prerequisite ordinances are completed.
------------------
And ...
Of course ...
Why are the temple ordinance dates out of order in Family Tree?
Where it states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
- The ordinances were inadvertently or intentionally performed out of order in error.
------------------
Plus ...
Most IMPORTANTLY ...
In one of the aforementioned "Knowledge Article":
Ordinances performed out of order
https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/ordinances-performed-out-of-order
Which states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
It is preferable to have the ordinances done in sequence
[ Note: The Words ... It is preferable ]
------------------
And ...
In the other of the aforementioned "Knowledge Article":
Correct order of temple ordinances
https://www.familysearch.org/help/helpcenter/article/correct-order-of-temple-ordinances
It also states, among other things:
Quote
------------------
The FamilySearch Family Tree website does not clear ordinances if prerequisite ordinances have not been cleared or performed.
[ And ]
- Sealing of a husband and wife and sealing of children to parents (if possible). Whenever possible, parents should be sealed to each other before the children are sealed to the parents.
[ Note: The Words ... Whenever possible ]
------------------
So, basically ...
The choice is yours.
For the "Sealing to Parents" for a Child ...
Remember, that the "Temple" Work, relates to the Child; and, NOT, the to Parents.
So ...
That Said ...
Regardless, of the status, of "Temple" Work of the Parents, the "Sealing to Parents" for a Child CAN be undertaken.
I know that this might not give you comfort and address your concerns; but, I hope that this gives you some more, insight; and, perspective.

Another article in addition to those referenced in Brett’s post: https://www.familysearch.org/en/help/helpcenter/article/sealing-to-parents-without-the-parents-ordinance-work-being-done

A child-to-parents sealing can be performed even if the parents’ individual work and sealing to each other have not been completed. The ordinance is valid, but it becomes effective only after the prerequisite ordinances for the parents are completed.
