[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't a G4 visa a nonimmigrant visa given to people working at an international organization? How could you foster or adopt if you have no security in staying in the country? [/quote]

She probably cannot foster but adopt? Come on.  Americans adopt kids from other countries all the time. Why not adopt an American child and move him elsewhere? [b]He or she will retain their citizenship regardless.[/b] [/quote]

This sounds inaccurate. Once the adoption is final, the child will have the citizenship of his/her parents. I’ve known many people who adopted from abroad — the Chinese baby became American like her parents, same for the Nigerian and Guatemalan babies. I have never heard of an adopted child being able to keep her citizenship of birth after an overseas adoption is completed. It would be very surprising if American adoptees were allowed to do so. The whole situation sounds bizarre.

It doesn't really matter what it sounds like to you.  The baby may obtain the citizenship of their adopted parents but all that baby has to do after 18 is walk into a U.S. Embassy anywhere on the planet and produce a birth certificate proving they were born inside the U.S.  Whatever happened to them after they climbed out of someone's vagina in the U.S. is irrelevant.  If born here, they are a citizen. [/quote]

Okay. The nastiness if you’re response made you lose all credibility.

LOL please don't ever stop believing that only nice people tell the truth.    Don't work on your writing either, it's perfect just the way it is.[/quote]
