MrComric 3 | 26 11 Feb 2024 #1So today I was asked to be a godparent for the youngest child of friends of ours. Now the first shock has evaporated, I feel honored and responsible. So I come from Belgium where we go on holidays with godchildren, make saving accounts in their name and are the legal guardian in case something happens to the child's parents. That's my background. But I would like to know what is expected of me now from a Polish perspective. (I am catholic, baptised, confirmed and married).

Besides, if something happens to the child's parents, you promise to take care of the child as if he/she was your own. You may also be expected to give gifts on these milestones.
