Its like somebody to take care of the kids
when the parents cant. I know that my mom
is a godmother and she buys my cousin
gifts often and stuff like that. Your
just the one who baptises them. In
spanish they call it nina and nino

That's not the main thing for a god
parent....If you're catholic it has
nothing to really do with who will take
care of the child. A godparent is
someone who is going to help in raising
the child in the catholic religion,
raising them to know what's right and
wrong nad what they all need to know about
it. God parents can take the child if
something is to happen tot he parents, but
the parents have a say over there. I
have a 16 year old who's the god mother of
my child, but in no way ever if something
is to happen to me or tim is she going to
take my child. Neither will her
mother....If anything is to happen, my
sister will be taking cole, cause she's
more mature. But we had to pick 2 ppl
that were in the catholic church to be god
parents. :)
