My husband and I have never been involved with a church. In 2002 we had our first child. At that time we did not have a baptism. I had twins in 2008. A family member of mine had recently gotten involved with a church that she absolutely loved. My husband and I inquired about having our children baptized. They said they would be happy to do it. Last Fall we had all three of our children baptized. What a beautiful ceremony. The people we had chosen to be Godparents were honored that we asked. A triple baptism ceremony. It was wonderful.

There are different reasons as to why people have their children baptized. I wanted to have godparents for my children and have them officially named. This way it is legal if anything happens to me and my husband. I am spiritual. I don't go to church every week. I also have different beliefs about certain things. The Reverend that performed the ceremony is a friend of my Aunt's.
