Baby Naming
“May strong arms hold you, caring hearts tend you, and may love surround you at every step.”
– Irish Blessing
We can give thanks for the arrival of a new being. Parents and family members can make vows and bring gifts and offerings. Readings can be chosen and everyone can bless the child in their own way. You may wish to nominate mentors for your child and they can make pledges.

Adoption Ceremonies
Adopting a child is a big decision that brings radical changes to our lives. It is very affirming for adoptive parents and their adopted child to create a ceremony to welcome the child into the family and wider community. Many adopted children have previously gone through a difficult time and would welcome hearing their new family make commitments to them to support and love them on their life’s journey.
