Target: US Congress and Senate
Petition text:
We, the undersigned, call on the U.S. Congress and Senate to pass the FACE Act into law. This act addresses needed changes to the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 (CCA). It will improve the CCA by eliminating the need for an immigrant visa for an internationally adopted child of an American citizen to enter the United States.
Once the international adoption is completed by an American citizen and the child is determined to be adoptable under U.S. law, citizenship would attach. The FACE Act would treat internationally adopted children of American citizens as children of American citizens instead of immigrants and would provide them with equality with biological children born abroad to American citizens.
