Name Giving Ceremony
Name giving ceremonies are wonderful and joyous occasions to celebrate the birth of your child and acknowledge their safe arrival into the world.
Name giving ceremonies are a beautiful way to welcome your child to this world and to the family that will surround them and support them as they grow to adulthood. It is also a wonderful way to introduce your child to your family after a formal adoption.
