Adiel and Roee Kiviti, the married couple that sued the State Department over their child\u2019s citizenship<\/a>, got an early Father\u2019s Day gift this week. A federal judge ruled in their favor, granting their daughter Kessem full American citizenship, and setting a precedent for other same-sex couples nationwide.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A surrogate gave birth to the girl in Canada in 2019. The State Department had initially denied Kessem citizenship, claiming that she was born \u201cout of wedlock.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Kivitis both hold US citizenship, though both immigrated from Israel. Roee became a citizen in 2001, while Adiel received his citizenship in 2019. The couple did not encounter the same resistance upon the birth of their son, who was granted full citizenship at birth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The State Department denied Kessem citizenship because, though she was genetically the child of Adiel, he had not lived in the US for more than five years\u2013a requirement historically applied only to non-citizen residents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ultimately, the judge in the case, Judge Theodore Chuang, rejected the State Department\u2019s argument on the grounds that both Adiel and Roee hold US citizenship and resided within the country, paving the way for Kessem to hold a US passport and citizenship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
