I have been a companion for a catecumen into the Catholic faith. She is asking for two women to be godmothers. Is that possible?
 
No. The requirement of canon law is the same for an adult to be baptized as it is for a child:
One sponsor, male or female, is sufficient; but there may be two, one of each sex (canon 873, Code of Canon Law).
This catechumen needs only one sponsor, but if she wants two, they must not be of the same sex.
