49-year-old South Korean adoptee Adam Crapser sues gov't, adoption agency for deportation, seeks change through Adoptee Citizenship Act.
Adam Crapser, a 49-year-old South Korean adoptee, is suing the South Korean government and his adoption agency after being deported in 2016 due to a lack of citizenship paperwork. He represents many international adoptees affected by a US law that excludes those over 18 from automatic citizenship. The proposed Adoptee Citizenship Act of 2024 seeks to address this issue, but Crapser doubts its passage, citing slow legislative progress since 2017.
