CA Federal Judge Rules Twin Son Of Gay Married Couple Has Been An American Citizen Since Birth
A federal judge in California has ruled on a highly contentious immigration case that sets a new precedent and will elicit a sigh of relief for gay married couples everywhere.
At issue was the fact that although both twins were born to the same surrogate, because sperm from each of the men was used to inseminate each egg separately, then the one child whose father is Israeli, was shockingly not considered an American citizen.
“The government had only granted citizenship to Aiden, who DNA tests showed was the biological son of Andrew, a U.S. citizen, said NBC News. While, “Ethan was conceived from the sperm of Elad Dvash-Banks, an Israeli citizen.”
“The State Department was wrong to deny citizenship to 2-year-old Ethan Dvash-Banks because U.S. law does not require a child to show a biological relationship with their parents if their parents were married at the time of their birth, District Judge John F. Walter found,” according to the AP.
