Any Mexican adoptees ever get dual citizenship?
Hi everyone!
I am 30 years and was adopted as a baby in 1982 from Guadalajara as soon as I was born, basically. One of my friends recently was asking me about dual citizenship in the US and Mexico. As I began to look into it I am thinking that I might be able to qualify for this! Has anyone of Mexican descent and an adoptee done this before? If so, did you reach any roadblocks? I have my original Mexican birth certficate as well as my amended US one given to my parents. I have all important documents basically. I havea consulate down the street from my job, but am anxious!! It would be nice to have this and maintain a more solid connection to my homeland. Thanks!
I am going to the consulate tomorrow, am just curious about other adoptees experiences :) I dont' have military service or anything special to note.

Adoption severs all ties to the birth parents. Unless you were adopted by Mexican citizens, adoption severed your Mexican citizen rights as well. You have no claim to Mexican citizenship through birth to birth parents who were Mexican citizens since that "parenthood" no longer legally exists.
