It is legal for a child born in the United States to live with a parent outside of the country. Both parents usually have to agree, however.
Yes they are.
Yes American citizenship law states that if one of your parent is a citizen so is the child -- Although if you are born outside the U.S., depending on the laws of that country, you could be considered a citizen of that country and you will have to file naturalization papers once you (or rather your parents) returned home to verify you are indeed an American citizen born to American citizens.
yes
Canada since it was born there. That happened to me I was born in Northern Ireland but my mom in New York I am still a European Citizen not an American one.
If the question is "how does a mother sign away her rights to a child before the child is born so that the father can be the primary parent?". The answer is, she can't. Mothers and fathers alike will have rights and responsibilities to their children unless the state determines them to be unfit and terminates their rights OR unless a step-parent decides they wish to adopt and papers are filed for the termination of the mother's or father's rights so that the step-mother or step-father can adopt instead. If the question regards a mother who does not want to be a primary parent to the child and a father who wants to be a primary parent (the parents are in agreement). There should be no problem transferring custody to the father with or without the court's involvement. Either parent may raise the child without interference from the court as long as the other parent agrees. However, mothers, like fathers, may be assessed for child support in this situation. In the eyes of the law, the child's best interest is what matters and if a mother does not want a relationship with her child, the court is still going to hold her responsible, financially, for that child. Also, if the child wants to seek a relationship with the mother, the court would want the child to be able to know the mother and find the mother. Only in the case of adoption either by a step-parent or by another couple will the court sever the rights of a mother or father. No action concerning custody, visitation, child support or any issues concerning the child can be or will be addressed by the court until the child is born and parentage is established.
Child support for illegal children can be difficult. A court order is required to enforce child support payments, and this depends on the parent being a legal immigrant with a legal job to collect from. If a illegal child is born of a US citizen or naturalization, the child is no longer considered illegal.
Several governments, though by no means not all, have reciprocal agreements to pursue a parent for the upkeep and care of a child born and living outside its native country if one parent returns to their native country.
In general a the country in which a child is born is considered its place of birth so a US child can not be born outside of the US. If you are a US citizen but your child is born while you are on a trip to Canada your child will be a Canadian Citizan.
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.
Who is consider a legal Citizen when one parent is from another country and one is American born -- child is born in a possesion?
Merely having a US citizen child gives the parent no legal status- the parent is still an illegal. The parent is still subject to arrest and deportation. The US government can, and does, deport parents of US citizen children. At that point the parent can either give up the child for adoption or take the child with them to their native country.
Yes (In most countries) child maintenance fees have to be paid from birth till an age that varies country to country.
No because the law does not care about your parents or where they were born just where the child was born

Yes. You need to first register your child at the closest US Embassy in the country of birth, Register of Birth Abroad. If you submit all required paperwork, they will issue a Certification of Birth Aboard, and with that you'll be able to apply for the child's passport.
Usually, yes, since the underager is herself legally a child. But depends on the law in the country/state where you are.

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.
