Welcoming Day

Welcoming Day is a day when Welcoming Day activities are held in the family's home, seven days after the birth of the baby. The Officials have access to all of the data about the infant, including eye color, hair color, the infant's due date, and arrival date as well as the family members.

At the ceremony, parents choose the child's first and last name. At which time the Official will type that information into their port and will let the parents visually confirm the name. It will appear above the child's assigned bar code, the same one their tissue will be preserved under if they live an ideal life.

A disease-proofing tablet is given to the newborn in front of the port that's described as "childish and colorful," with three wedges and the sections colored red, blue, and green. Xander Carrow, during his time serving The Rising, swapped it for The Rising's disease-proofing pill which makes the baby immune to the red tablet as well as the plague.
