That’s not adoption that you referred to. When a child is adopted, the US statutes refer to laws that stem from treaties.

You are looking in the wrong area. The law you reference is written to protect children from actions of parents that emigrate.

The laws that govern adoptions follow from treaties that account for citizenship of the newly adopted child.

Apples and Oranges.

[Cheburashka]

Parents cannot renounce U.S. citizenship on behalf of their minor children. Nothing there that says "except in the case of adoption." And I don't give a G*d d@#n about Indonesian law.

I'm satisfied that I have proved my case. Your failure to admit that is your problem, not mine.

I decline to waste any more time on you.
