If you did not have people apart from your parents who loved you as a
child you may not be aware of the benefits this could have for your own child.
What can you imagine about how other people could be loving parts of your child's
life growing up?
It would be a good idea to choose a godparent. This is an honor for
someone not related to your child to be given backup responsibility. It often draws
them into forming a lasting relationship with the child.
