There are only TWO ways to get citizenship, you either gain it when you are born, (or adopted)

You don't gain it automatically by adoption. See the link I gave above, it has a section on adoption as well, which states:

Adoption of an alien minor by an American does not confer U.S. citizenship on the child. Adoption, however, is one way in which a U.S. citizen father can legitimate his natural child born out of wedlock for purposes of transmitting citizenship
