Confused about baptizing

Dh and I want to baptize our son but now we are confused...we want to baptise in our local catholic church and we like that church.  The only thing that bothers us is that we have to choose sponsors - at this time we are not getting along with my family - they are absolute idiots and are not being very nice to us.  We thought that perhaps we would choose my sister as ne sponsor but she is being very mean towards me and not being very supportive to me.  And on another note, we don't want to involve my family since for the past few months they are acting like a bunch of idiots and probably would make an excuse not to come or would be there and their presence wouldn't make the day feel special.


Now, we are thinking should we just take a trip to holland (where Dh is from) and have our son baptized (prodestant) there because we know we will recieve lots of support and love from his family.


Wish we knew what to do

Ask around. You may have friends that are Catholic.

I totally agree with Beth... there's no reason why the Godparents need to be relatives.
