Naming – Adoption

Adoption is another word for love – Remember Superman was adopted!

We’ve Adopted You

We didn’t give you the gift of life, but in our hearts we know

The love we feel is as deep and real as if it had been so.

For us to have each other is like a dream come true.

No – we didn’t give you the gift of life, life gave us the gift of you

Naming – Grandparents Promises

Grandparents bring wisdom, love and support to your family.  Ask them to make their own promises to your child

You inherited a thousand generations of wisdom, skill, poetry, song,

All the sunrises and sunsets of knowledge past.

You are the sum of all the people who went before you.

Your child’s grandparents will  be particularly important people in their lives and would love to be asked to declare the promises they have chosen to make.

We wish you a childhood full of fun and games

And we wish you memories that have little pain.

We wish you to learn by making mistakes.

We wish you to love and never to hate.

But the one thing above and beyond all of this

Is the love that is felt by your ‘grandparents wish’
