So then you are arguing AGAINST the validity of international law?

Where is this tidbit of international law codified? And are you arguing that international law trumps US law in regards to who is and isn't a US citizen?

Well, I’m not really an international-law scholar; I’m looking to see if I can find the treaty which codified international adoptions (but I’m not good at such searchings).

The US Constitution, however, is clear on the matter of treaties:
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof;
and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall
be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing
in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.

Also, because Congress is involved in the acceptance of treaties AND because they are responsible for “establish[ing] an uniform Rule of Naturalization” then IF they signed onto such a treaty it would BE a part of law regarding the nationalization/nationality. Period.
