I thought this was illegal. Someone smarter—or not—chime in a set me straight.

That is absurd.

This has to be a satire

I think a friend who adopted a Russian newborn did not have to go to court, aside from the adoption.

Using a surrogate is really nothing different than an adoption.

I know the “gay adoption” thing gets folks worked up. But as a matter of “law”, I don’t think this is way off course.

I want to sell the tickets to view the birth.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Is this a natural born citizen?

[Telepathic Intruder]

How many things can a single sentence contain? If you thought I could count them on one hand, that’s also wrong.

The surrogate business is illegal, but a separate issue from the child's citizenship.

If it were a straight couple and a baby genetically theirs delivered through a surrogate, the baby would be a US citizen and no need for a lawsuit.

Eligible to be President according to some around here.

What an abominable twisting of the law. Crooks will find a way to transform the ruling into a racket.

[escapefromboston]

Don’t believe the judge would have such an authority to totally make up a ruling based on nothing like this. Then again this is America and we live in a post-law society

Insanity.

Pernicious insanity.

Judge is a PDJT appointee.

The child is the biological child of an American citizen. That would normally qualify it be a citizen.

And none of us has standing to appeal.

Hi.

A Constitutional amendment:

A natural born citizen is a person born on U.S. soil of two parents that are naturalized citizens of natural born citizens.

Adheres to the 14th amendment and makes no doubt, Kamala, Baraq the exact meaning.

We are a nation of laws, but now we’ve become a can of worms nation?

[cpdiii]

No.

Not the legal parents and thus end of story. My son was born in England of USA citizens. He is an American citizen. I took his English Birth Certificate down to the American Embassy in London and did the paperwork and he was given American Citizenship and passport. It was very simple. I also established his British Citizenship most legally. He has two passports. He can hold any position in the United States Government except president or vice president as he is also a citizen of the United Kingdom.

One legal fiction based upon another.

So the question remains for this, or any foreign born adoptee: When the kid comes of age and tries to locate his/her natural mother, succeeds, and decides to return to her, is he/she still a US Citizen?
