Catholic Answer This is a complicated question that can only be answered by the parish priest in charge of the parish in which the child resides. To be baptized there MUST be a well-founded hope that the child will be raised as a Christian. If the the mother or father raising the child is a practicing Catholic then there should be no problem. However, if the child is living with a parent who is engaging in a sinful lifestyle and obviously disregarding Church teachings then I think the possibility of a well-founded hope would be pretty slim.
