Thank you for your response. The baptism was postponed as it was scheduled without my involvement. I didn’t find out about it being postponed until 5 minutes before it was supposed to take place. I had family members going to three different stake centers looking for stake baptisms. I had a friend who made an hour drive so he could livestream it for me since I’m out of state. I’m just glad I didn’t waste 15 hours traveling for something that wasn’t going to happen anyway. There was no communication from the other parent. My children were then told that it was I who cancelled the baptism and they were upset at me for that, when all of this confusion was caused by the other parent. I want to do what’s best for the children involved as they are the victims of this divorce that was not my decision or theirs. I had no chance whatsoever to reconcile anything and very little consideration was given to how the decision to go through a divorce would affect the children.

Thank you for your messages and support in this situation. I think more could have been done and should have been done to involve the other parent in this process. The parent being excluded here from this ordinance and important moment in his child’s life reached out back in February trying to schedule the baptism. Spoke in person with the child’s bishop and also sent two messages through the proper channels. The two messages sent were ignored and not responded to. I feel this is being proceeded with improperly and almost anything will be done or said to add another number to the membership rolls.
