[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the benefit of doing this? You aren't going to move to Europe.[/quote]

Why do you assume they wouldn’t?  My kids have German passports in addition to their US passports, which we got in significant part so they would have an option to live/work there as adults. My college student is seriously considering it for after graduation. [/quote]

Don't be crazy. College kids make grandiose plans. Your kid isn't moving to Germany. People move to North America from Europe not the other way around. My parents were born in Croatia.  I grew up around lots of Croatians. Nobody's kids moved there if they were not born there. Would be extremely rare.[/quote]

You are wrong on a few accounts.  Firstly, while kids in your circle may not study abroad, American kids do go and study in Europe.  Why do you think there are so many posts on this site about kids going to St Andrews in Scotland?  My kid is at Washington International School and so I can tell you this is a fact.  Secondly, I grew up in Australia and my father was Croatian. Many dual nationals go back and forth.  My Croatian cousin-in-law's sister moved back from Sydney.  This isn't just the case for Croatians.  People return to their home country because of their family and cultural ties.  [/quote]
