Happy Birthday Shiloh!
Shiloh, Brangelina’s first DNA offspring, turns two today!
Popsquire Pop Quiz: When a child is born outside of the United States and out of wedlock, is she an American citizen?
Children born out of wedlock to a US citizen mother will be US citizens if the mother resided in the US for one year prior to the birth of the child. Children born out of wedlock to a US citizen father will acquire US citizenship if the following conditions are met:
- There is an established blood relationship between the father and the child;
- The father was a US citizen at the time of the birth;
- The father has agreed to financially support the child until it is 18; and
- Before the child is 18 it is legitimated, or the father acknowledges paternity in a document signed under oath
In celebration of Shiloh’s birthday and presumptive U.S. citizenship, sing along to Mariah Carey’s “Always Be My Baby.” Sing!
