Bringing Birth parents to US

[Iml3g3nd 3]

Hi

My wife a US citizen, was legally adopted by her aunt(she is childless) and bought to US some years back.

Now she is thinking about if she can bring her Birth parents here?

As i researched i did not find much about it...so thats why im asking here ...

she was adopted when she was 13-14 yrs old...

she is older than 21 yrs

she has been involved with her birth parents till now...

so can someone guide me on this? although i know straightforward way is not there.. i though maybe there is some legal way of doing this through some lawyers etc>?

To my knowledge, an adopted child cannot bring his/her birth parents to the US. The whole point of adoption (legally) is that it severs the biological parental relationship and invests it in the adoptive parent. It should be pretty easy to find the rule that states explicitly the this point. I just don't have it on hand.

The adoption legally severed ties to the birth parents. For immigration purposed they are strangers. If the adoptive mother is the sibling of one of the parents , that woman would be able to do a sibling petition. Unfortunately that would be very slow. Your wife used a parent child relationship to come here and that is the only parent that will be recognized by immigration.
