Entrustment Ceremonies
Entrustment ceremonies are rituals which include both the birth family and the adoptive family as a way of honoring the child moving permanently from one family to another. Held in a church, at home, a garden, or even a hospital chapel, these ceremonies acknowledge and embrace losses and gains, joy and sadness, and the present and future.
Each of the participants can offer a wish and a promise to the cherished child as a way to mark this transition. It affirms our deepest joy and honors new life with festivity and poignant intimacy. It gives new meaning to the term "entitlement" as the baby /child is lovingly transferred to the adoptive parent/parents by the birthmother/family.
