To ask this is like asking why are Jewish boys, only 8 days old, circumcised without their consent, or really, anything as children are not yet capable of giving consent, that is why they have parents, who give their consent for the child. Like anything else, it is not active when the child becomes capable of reason, until they give their assent. It is still valid, but the adult must consciously "own" it. Just like circumcision is an initiation process into the Jewish Faith, so too, is Baptism into the Catholic Faith. Just like our Jewish brethren who promise to raise their boy in the Faith - Catholics, at Baptism, make a commitment before God to raise the child in the Faith. We Catholics view this a the first step in the initiation process into the Faith - a three part process: Baptism, Communion, and Confirmation - both Tradition and Biblical teachings hold this to be proper.

Well, if you have children on earth they are not waiting to come down from heaven, since they have already come down from heaven. Nobody can be a Mormon without being baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which could not happen without their knowledge and consent. So - no, unless your children were baptized Mormons, they are not Mormons.
