Why?

He was already Baptized in the Russian Orthodox Church, or so we were told (he has a small cross as “proof”).

But the reason we did not re-baptize him in our faith is that 1. we did not have a church to call home and 2. we knew that the Russian Orthodox Church was part of his heritage and we did not want to take that from him. Our belief is that if he ever wanted to chose a faith other than the ROC than he could do that on his own.

A friend of mine from the Chicago Moms Blog seems to have similar views. However, because both of her daughter’s grandparents are religious she and her husband decided to Christen her daughter…a choice I stand behind because it is something we will probably do for The Bebe, as he will NOT be Baptized or Christened when he joins our family.

The problem is that now that I would like to Baptize The Bebe I feel that I should Baptize the boys together, in one faith.

What do you think?
