So, I’m thinking about adopting U.S. children after I get my C3 “Lost Canadian” citizenship certificate, then eventually move all of us there…
If you know anything about this process, please tell me the best route to take. I was born and still live in the U.S. and always wanted to adopt. Now that I’m going through the C3 “Lost Canadian” process, I’m wondering if it’s better/easier/more affordable to adopt now while I’m still here or wait until I get my Canadian certificate, apply for a Canadian passport, move there, etc.
I’m excited about the opportunity to make Canada greater by helping to increase it’s population, labor force, consumerism, military, number of taxpayers, and such. My only gripe about the place is that it’s super cold there. 🥶. But I think that it will give me and the children I’ll adopt a solid chance at living a more fair, decent, safe, and peaceful life there than we would if we just stayed here in today’s climate.
What do you know? Would the U.S. allow foreign adoption if I already moved to Canada? Would the U.S. allow me to take my adopted children out of the country? Will Canada have me go through the citizenship process for each child before letting them live there? Will the citizenship process be easier for the children after I get my citizenship certificate and all that? Will it take a long time adopting here if I have dual citizenship? Will the U.S. look at my adoption application suspiciously after I have dual citizenship? What do you know? What’s the best route?
