In Reform Judaism, that is not true. If the father is Jewish and the mother is not, and the child is raised in the Jewish faith, the child is considered to be Jewish.

Thank you for the kind answer. My mother remembers her aunt going through a ceremony, with a special bath and getting her hair cut (? She's not sure about that - she was about 4!), so that she could convert.
