While, as a non-Catholic, you can't be a godmother

Hi,
I'm not an expert on Catholicism because I'm not a Catholic, but my I am the godmother to a Catholic boy. I was able to be the godmother because the godfather is Catholic. We were told at least one godparent has to be Catholic. I had to go to classes - Sacrament of the Baptism Classes - but so do Catholic parents and godparents (at least that's what we had to do at two Catholic Churches in CA). I'm not trying to get into a debate because like I said I am not Catholic, but I am a godmother to a Catholic boy and it was done in a Catholic Church by a priest.
If the biomom would allow you to be a godparent, wow that would be great. But she'd probably want a close family member. I did have to go to classes, and so did the Catholic godfather and the parents.
For my own FD, I would support her religion. Her mother's family is Jewish and I tried to get her to have a Bat Mitzvah but she did not want to go to Hebrew school. (I am not Jewish).
