[quote:b6d67f26da="Craig"]baptize each of your children...whether born of your flesh or by adoption.[/quote:b6d67f26da]

I agree with that -- but am curious whether any one else disagrees. Also, although I agree that my adopted daughters are just as much my children as my sons, and thus enjoy the covenant blessings, I don't know whether to press the issue to have my oldest daughter baptized now, given the session's concern about baptizing older children who haven't made a confession of faith. Again, although I haven't discussed the issue with any of the Elders in awhile, as I understand it they are reluctant to baptize older children until they make a profession of faith because there are so many new members all of the time who don't understand paedo-baptism and who might be further confused. As I'm writing this, I'm realizing that I need to discuss it with some of the Elders to make sure I understand the position correctly, though I think I do. In the meantime, I would appreciate any thoughts you folks might have.
