Hello, Marion.
Can you clarify a few things for us?
(1) Have you never been "baptized" in any way, in any faith?
(2) You say that you are in the "conversion process." Does this mean that you have approached the pastor of your local Catholic parish, and he has enrolled you in the Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (R.C.I.A.)?
(3) Are you currently married (i.e., "re-married" in the eyes of the state)?

It will be easier to answer your original question accurately if we have the answers to those questions.
Thanks.
God bless you.
John
