The Catholic Church only recognizes one baptism, even most Protestant baptisms. If you have converted from Catholicism, however, any church that practices baptism will likely be able to conduct a baptism. You may be required to attend baptismal class prior to being baptized.

The Sacrament of Baptism is linked to Confirmation. At Baptism, the baby's godparents make their vows to remain faithful to the Church. At Confirmation, the young person makes the vows him/herself, to remain faithful to the Church.
In this service from a spiritual point of veiw, the baby is accepted into the church community and will show it by receiving all the sacraments following baptism like confession, communion or confirmation. The baptism is just the first step to a Catholic being part of the church.
According to the Catholics, one is born a sinner. The sin of being born is called "the original sin". The meaning of baptism is to 'cleanse' a baby from its original sin.
Many religions protested infant baptism. Protestants do not do baby baptisms. The Church of the Brethren (Dunkard) do no practice this, either.

Confirmation is done immediately after Baptism, together with Chrismation, and is done either as a child or as an adult. It can be done at any time that a person is Baptized.
