I’m lucky in that my adoptive parents were informed and took the proper steps to have me naturalised

Steed cites one case of a young man who followed his adoptive father’s career by enlisting with the military, and only discovered he was not a US citizen at 18 when he received a posting to Germany and applied for a passport.

That case was eventually resolved, but Steed fears that in the current febrile atmosphere around immigrants in the US, people adopted from Ireland without the correct paperwork are at risk of deportation.


The Irish babies adopted to the US, now adults in a legal limbo
