We have 3 separate circumstances. Our son, in a state run orphanage, was baptized by his birth parents. Our daughters, one from foster care and one in a Catholic orphanage, were both baptized while in care (ages 5 & 6).
As a side note, our daughter who was in foster care in Poland also had her first communion in Poland. The foster family felt it was important for her to have this in her native language and recieved special permission from the Church to have the ceremony completed 6 months earlier than it would have normally taken place.
