As an intercountry adoptee whose parents did not secure my citizenship, I’ve lived with the quiet, unsettling uncertainty of being here legally—but never fully protected. I didn’t choose this situation, yet I carry its consequences every day. This isn’t just a paperwork issue—it’s about identity, belonging, and basic dignity. No adoptee should face the threat of deportation from the only home they've ever known. The Adoptee Citizenship Act isn’t just a fix—it’s a long-overdue promise America needs to finally keep. If this matters to you, please consider supporting the cause.
