Grant equality to foreign adopted children whose adoptive parents failed to acquire U.S. citizenship before 18 yrs old.

Created by A.B. on October 06, 2015

This petition supports passing Foreign Adopted Children for Equality Act. It began in 2009 and has been through many revisions. We need 100,000 signatures to get Congress's attention.

Address the problem of foreign adopted children whose adoptive parents failed to acquire U.S. citizenship for them prior to their 18th birthday.
