Both my son and daughter were born in the same US Army hospital in Germany while my husband was stationed there and I was still a German citizen. Our son was born in 1963 and our daughter in 1970. When they were six weeks old we took them to the American Consulate in Munich (München) and my husband registered their birth with the American Consulate, and we received a Consulate report of birth of a US Citizen abroad which looked something like this.

We also received an American Passport for both of them.

the confirmation of citizenship for the child after adoption has been essentially automatic

Not exactly. As I recall, there was a carve out for cases where the parents hadn't met the children before the foreign proceeding. The biggest group impacted by this were those from Korea, which basically had an option to airmail the children to America. Most foreign countries required the American parents to travel there first, which would generally end up satisfying the American law which went into effect in 2000.

You were responsible parents.

So we should make all 11 million illegals into citizens!

RTFA! Those people are not the subject of the article.

According to the State Department, the number of international adoptees 1999-2015 is 261,728.

The rate of international adoption has been on the decline:

What are you bringing up Fox News for? Fox News has nothing to do with this?

Jazz Shaw is the only writer left at HotAir that has held true to his conservative values. The rest are Establishment whores.

He isn’t as well known as some of the other columnists there, but he is a good guy, and has been around for several years.

Thought about it some more. If the kid was too old for the 2000 act to help, he should have been old enough for the original 1990s Amnesty.

You are so ignorant. Adopted children are not illegals

“If not, to hell with them a tat and a microchip implant that identify them from half a mile away, deport and make it that they will be shot on site if ever found inside our borders again.”

Tatoos are expensive and time-consuming. Brand them on both cheeks.

“...it’s easy for parents to,forget...”

I’m sure that ALL international adoptions have lawyers involved, this is something for the lawyer to be aware of and handle.

If something like this happened to me I would sue the attorney for malpractice and I imagine I would win.

I’m pretty sure we could carve out a very specific exception for however many/few people this would impact.

“What’s a Jazz Shaw?”

I’m surprised you don’t know him (I think he’s a him). He’s a big shot over at Hot Air, supposedly a conservative site.

But find his other post today, there or here where it’s posted, about Father Pfleger and how he’s right about violence in Chitown.

Shaw just gets stupider by the day.

Yes we were, but like I said I was still a German citizen and did not make my citizen ship until 1977 when we were stationed at Fort Riley KS. I made my citizenship on June 12, 1977 and the ceremony was June 14 which was a Saturday in Abilene, KS at President Dwight D. Eisenhower's childhood home

When my future husband and I met in my hometown in Germany he also met my little boy who was just a little over 2 years old. (Both btw shared the same birthday) My now late son was 17 years old when I made my citizenship and when I filled the papers out they asked me if I want him to become also a citizen as he was still a minor. I said of course yes. s

Thanks. I guess Shaw might be a real name, but I bet he wasn’t born with “Jazz” as a first name. But then folks have been born with “Moon Unit” and “Dweezel” as first names.

There you have the Path to Citizenship.

Create an organization of US citizens that adopts Illegal Aliens a few days before their 18th birthday.

Adopt them, get their US citizenship right before their 18th birthday.

Fortunately our adoptions were after 2000 so our kids were covered by the change in law

The only lawyer we saw was in a Russian courtroom
That was 14 years ago

So no, there is no requirement for a U.S. lawyer to be involved unless the kids were re adopted in the US - ours weren’t
