As a dual citizen I fully understand the stress of traveling with 2 passports and all the headaches that come with it. Thankfully the country I live in I don’t have to give up either citizenship

@taegan1831 11 ай бұрын

But since she is married to a Korean can’t she doesn’t have to completely give up her U.S citizenship? She just has to nullify it for as long as she has Korean citizenship

I hope one day when you experience parenthood, you’ll understand the beauty of being familial without the constant reminders of whose DNA your children have! For the many children who are adopted, who are surrogated and donated eggs by family members, may they all feel as much love and deep connections with those who raise them and choose to be their parents! May they shake off people like you, who can break their hearts with your words, just because you need to prove a point of how DNA works!

@CARATMom 11 ай бұрын

In the US the reason why you have to come with the children and BOTH parents (unless you have an affidavit) to apply for a passport is to prevent a parent from getting a passport for their children without the other parents knowledge. Because kidnapping your kids to another country is a thing here.

Luna was so happy with her "gift" haha but it looks like they will soon be holy terrors racing around in different directions now they are up and ready to walk. It's very interesting about the military, who knows what will be going on in another 18 years. We had mandatory service for a year here in the Netherlands but just when my brother would be getting old enough they stopped that, so my older male cousins went but my brother didn't. Back then there were no wars to be active in so it was just a year of young men hanging out with other equally unmotivated men doing work outs and chores. Safe to say they did not enjoy that. But on the other hand if anything went on., like a dike breach they would have the boys over there is no time filling sandbags and helping out. The dutch military still does a lot of humanitarian work like hooking up water in other countries. Sadly they do have to fight now with the way the world is going now.
