Again, this is all questioning because I don't really understand, not because I am questioning faith.
Once the mother converts, she is a Jew. There are events that the child needs to have done but they will be Jewish.

And to be honest with you, it's really confusing so people have tried to figure out if the Jews are a people a religion or a nationality...everyone has different answers.
