U.S. Ends Policy Denying Citizenship To Children Born Via In Vitro, Surrogacy

The State Department has updated its policy regarding granting citizenship to children born via in vitro or surrogacy. Its earlier rules denied citizenship to those children unless they had direct genetic ties to their parent who was a U.S. citizen.

The State Department said its updated policy "takes into account the realities of modern families" and advances in reproductive technology.
