For a myriad of reasons, some good for children, others less so, international adoptions now occur at a fraction of what they once did. Of those, the majority are finalized in the country where the child is born which automatically grants the adopted child United States citizenship upon their return to the United States.
Many adoptive families stop here. However, there are good reasons to obtain a Minnesota court order “confirming and recognizing” the international adoption. Among them, the ability to obtain a Minnesota birth certificate.
