my son will be christened hopefully this year

just wondering what you did when choosing God parents

most of the god parents have been chosen except for 1 or 2

i have seen so many people choose God parents and end up having no communication with them down the line

I do believe some people choose to lightly

but i hope and pray i have chosen good ones

Try to choose the friends who are more responsible and who get on well with younger people and children as opposed to your best friends and crew who might be fun.

As for who you might not keep in contact with nobody can know that or see what will happen but I personally have a core of friends I've known like 20 odd years.  I'm sure you or your husband do too so think about them.  Not foolproof but the best I can think of.

people that already love and pay a part in the childs life. Someone that you honestly believe will play a wonderful part in your child future. Someone that understands you and your partner and what you both are about, and know what you also what for your child.

I think it should be about love family and respect. Someone that you have no doubt that will love your child. :)

I chose my three closest friends for each of my children, plus a family member for the last two.

I couldn't tell you who my own Godparents are, and didn't want that for my children. I knew I wouldn't fall out with my brother, his wife and my other sister-in-law (Hubby's sister), so they were my choice.

I see what you mean about losing contact. I never speak to any of my god parents. Choose somone you know will be an excelent guide for your child. Sometimes thats not always someone you've known since the begining of time and thats the mistak a lot of people make.

You know whats crazy, i was just talking about this with someone i know on how i'm not a christian but i still got love for my god mother, father and brothers and sisters.  To tell you the truth, according to the baptism certificate i have 2 god parents but in reality i have many people i call god parents.  I say pick someone not just because there responsible or good with kids but people you grew up with and are like family to you.
