+ Reconciliation (Confession) +
Unfortunately non-Catholics can not receive any legitimate Catholic receive sacraments, except in extreme circumstances like danger.
Before receiving the confirmation and the Eucharist in the process of entry into full communion with the Catholic Church, the baptized receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession).
Not baptized to join the Catholic Church often receive Reconciliation for the first time one or two months after the baptism.
However, no one can talk to a Catholic priest about any issue in your life without absolution.
Baptism + +
The Church is to seek assurance that the promise that parents and godparents are to raise the child as a Catholic be met.
This probably means that at least one parent is Catholic or convert to Catholicism.
Again, exceptions are made for extreme cases such as the danger of death.
+ With love in Christ.
No, it is not possible to have a child baptized a Catholic unless you have very good indication that the intention of the parents raise the child Catholic. A parent who is not Catholic is not likely to do so, and it would be difficult to find a priest who overlook this, because without the intention of the parents raise the child Catholic baptism is illegal.
A non-Catholic parents who want their child baptized Catholics should take some classes in the Catholic Faith (RCIA, classes are FREE) to decide if Catholicism is correct or not. If this is right is right for the whole family, not just children.
A priest who ask why you want your child to be baptized Catholic if you do not intend to raise him in the faith? Also say that at least one parent must be Catholic.
Yes
In the case of children, the role of sponsor is to be "spiritual guardian," which takes a "slack" in the catechesis of children, helps to ensure that his godson learns faith, and prays for his life During his godson.
In general, at least one parent must be confirmed Catholic (as in the confirmation you received) and a child of God, parents should also be confirmed. For example, when my son was baptized, I was not confirmed, but his father was, as was his mother-God, but God is not your father. If the other parent is Catholic, I imagine it would be arranged, but if neither parent is Catholic, I am not sure what significance that would sacrament for themselves or their children. I call the pastor, explain your situation and see what he says.

Yes, however, "there must be a founded hope that the child will be educated in the Catholic religion" (Code of Canon Law, 868.1.2). http://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG1104/__ …
seems hypercritical to baptize your child in a faith that does not even practice
Yes, I think so. The priest then try to convince their parents to go through RCIA and become a member too. Can go alittle over him, but hey … if you think the church is good enough for her son, why is it not good enough for you?
No, not in most cases. You can make an exception, but when you have your child baptized in the Catholic faith, his position before God and vote for this child in faith. This means that the teaching of his / her faith, taking them faithfully to church, go to confession, first communion, confirmation, CCD … and live the Catholic faith at home.
The best way to do this really is RCIA classes begin, so to understand Catholicism and then joined the Church. Once you have that you can have your child baptized in the Church.
I would visit the parish and closer consultation with the priest.
