In the Church of England, the godmother is the baby's sponsor during the baptism, answers questions about her faith for the infant, and guides her morally as she grows older. However, godparents have no legal rights to the kid and are not eligible for custody or visiting rights. While being designated the godmother of a friend's baby is an honor, it does not give any legal privileges. When it comes to making binding choices on behalf of the child, a godmother has no more rights than other members of the general public.
