Act of Thanksgiving after the Birth or Adoption of a Child: This maybe more appropriate in circumstances where parents believe that the serious act of baptism is not thought to be right for their child at that particular time or after a child already baptised is being adopted or maybe was baptised in emergency circumstances eg in hospital.
To discuss and arrange this, please leave your details 
here on the contact form and we will get back to you.
