godmotherhood
Baptismal sponsor role
Godmotherhood is the state or role of being a godmother—a woman who sponsors a child at baptism and traditionally takes responsibility for their religious upbringing.
The term extends to the relationship itself and the period during which one serves in this capacity: She took her godmotherhood seriously, attending every milestone in the child's life.
