It depends on how it is done. For instance, if the child was already in the US illegally, then the child has to get a green card first, and then qualify for citizenship.
Yes, if it is a reciprocating country
Giving recent security there's a lot of things that has to be done when a foreign born child is being adopted out with the parent's consent. The American consulate of that respective country can tell you what it takes to adopt a child.
Yes, an immigrant can be adopted by a United States Citizen. You just need to fill out the proper paperwork for both the United States and the country of the child's origin.?æ
I don't think so, unless the child was born on American soil (actually in America, an American territory, American military installation, or American embassy).
The CitiZen Chil will be adopted by Federal / State
it means the country the child is adopted to.
Yes
No! If the child is born in another country and not on a military base, the child is a citizen of the country to wit it is born in. The parent will have to fill the proper paperwork to get the child it's US status.
"In most cases, one is a U.S. citizen if both of the following are true: # Both parents were U.S. citizens at the time of the child's birth # At least one parent lived in the United States prior to the child's birth." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_nationality_law
When the minor illegal alien is adopted, the minor child gains the citizenship of his adopted parents, so when he/she is adopted they become a US citizen if their parents are US citizens.
The child is an American citizen because he or she was born here. The foreign mother is not. Presumably this is because it would create an easy way to obtain citizenship if the government allowed foreign women to become citizens just because they gave birth in our country.
Yes, he will be treated as "US Citizen born abroad"
