 What if we used a surrogate? Can my child still acquire U.S. citizenship?   

A: Yes, children born abroad through surrogacy can acquire U.S. citizenship if the U.S. citizen parent(s) meet the residency or physical presence requirements and can establish legal parentage. This may require proof of a genetic relationship or recognition of legal parentage by the foreign jurisdiction.
