Can someone clarify this for me. I have a friend that was adopted by her aunt...She is now an american citizen and she wanted to know if its possible to sponsor her biological parents & siblings....
She went to a lawyer and he informed her that she wasn't eligible to sponsor them...Can someone please let me know if this is true or not?
Thanks in advance.

Gator says on Sep 21, 2005, 10:43: No She Can Not... generally speaking, in order for an adoption to be legal, the biological parents must formally renounce any responsibility for the child and freely agree to the adoption in writing and a sworn statement and the court decree will state she is legally considered to be the daughter of the adoptive parents. The other problem, since the court, in all probability, changed her name to that of the adoptive parents and her application for citizenship would reflect that name I am sure BCIS would want to know why her "parents" have a different name than she does. I would stick to what the attorney advises in as much as he is being paid for his expertise in these matters.
