The arrival of a child is reason to celebrate. Whether a new born baby, an adoption or the addition of step children, mark this wonderful occasion with a celebration of your choice. Again, as with couple ceremonies, you need to choose the place and date as well as inviting your guests. After that I will compose a ceremony for you including vows, poetry, readings and music to give you a unique celebration. The content will be chosen by you and I have many resources to help you with this.

Naming

This ceremony will provide you and your family with a unique way to share your child's name with those who matter. It allows you as a parent or parents to make vows to love and nurture your child and to introduce other important and supportive adults into your child's life. You can choose the vows that you make and have any content that feels right for you. This ceremony has no legal significance.

Welcoming

Modern families experience many changes in life. It might be that you wish to welcome new step children into your family or that you wish to celebrate your own new name or transition to the gender with which you identify. Together we can create the perfect ceremony for you. These ceremonies could easily be combined with a naming ceremony if desired. Again, they have no legal status.
