I am writing to urge you to cosponsor S. 4448, the Adoptee Citizenship Act of 2024. This crucial legislation addresses a critical oversight in our immigration laws that has left thousands of international adoptees without U.S. citizenship despite being raised as Americans by U.S. citizen parents.
This bipartisan bill is not just about immigration; it's about family, fairness, and fulfilling our obligations to the adopted people. These individuals were brought to the U.S. legally as children, with the expectation of becoming U.S. citizens. They have grown up here. America is their home.
By cosponsoring S. 4448, you can provide security and peace of mind to thousands of adoptees and their families, demonstrating your commitment to family values and justice. Please cosponsor the Adoptee Citizenship Act of 2024 and advocate for its swift passage. Your leadership will make a significant difference in the lives of American adopted people. Thank you for your time.
I look forward to your support for this important legislation.
