You don’t acquire Indonesian citizenship at birth by virtue of adoption, but you do acquire U.S. citizenship at the moment of birth if you are born in this country.

Sorry, but you're wrong on both accounts. Indonesia law makes adopted children up to age 5 automatic citizens of Indonesia. As for your second point, not all persons born in the United States automatically become U.S. citizens.
