Godparent 教父母
A godparent, in many denominations of Christianity, is someone who sponsors a child's baptism, although the term was also used in a legal sense. In both Christian and secular views, a godparent tends to be an individual chosen by the parents to take an interest in the child's upbringing and personal development, and to take care of the child should anything happen to the parents. A male godparent is a godfather, and a female godparent is a godmother. The child is a godchild (godson, goddaughter).
