Abstract
The article discusses the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 and its impact on foreign-born adoptions. It highlights the history of Korean adoption, particularly during the Korean War, and the challenges faced by adoptees who did not acquire U.S. citizenship. The Child Citizenship Act of 2000 aimed to address this issue but did not cover individuals who were over 18 at the time. The proposed Adoptee Citizenship Act and the Equal Citizenship for Children Act of 2023 seek to grant citizenship to adoptees regardless of age. However, the passage of these acts remains uncertain. The article emphasizes the importance of understanding this aspect of immigration law and supporting adoptees' right to stay in the United States. [Extracted from the article]
