Over the last 10 months, I have obsessively tracked down and spoken to 25+ foreign-born adoptees who were brought as children to the US by American citizens but who remain without citizenship, in some cases well into their 40s and 50s. There are more than 40,000 of them. And that number could grow to 64,000 by 2033. These individuals are a forgotten group to the millions of Americans. They were left out of the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 - due to GOP concerns - which provided automatic citizenship to adoptees under 18 years of age at the time.
