Before, under the INA, a child born to a married couple living abroad had a right to American citizenship at birth if one of their parents was an American citizen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that changed in 2017.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe U.S. Department of State interprets the INA to mean that a child born abroad must be biologically related to a U.S. citizen parent,\u201d the State Department\u2019s website says. \u201cEven if local law recognizes a surrogacy agreement and finds that U.S. parents are the legal parents of a child conceived and born abroad\u2026 if the child does not have a biological connection to a U.S. citizen parent, the child will not be a U.S. citizen at birth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This changed nothing for heterosexual married couples. Passport applications don\u2019t ask if a child was conceived with the help of a sperm or egg donor, which may cut the biological tie between the child and the American parent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/state-department-to-lgbt-married-couples-your-out-of-wedlock-kids-arent-citizens?fbclid=IwAR0-1KXaIU_boi0AxeTNN3rEjZn647KVaw6RiQRga9baBC2ZFNU79U_dQlE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Daily Beast (opens in a new tab)\">Daily Beast<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Children of U.S. citizens are falling victim to a policy that de-recognizes their parents\u2019 marriage\u2014and strips them of their birthright<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":26362,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[64],"tags":[14367],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.3 -
