This is in response to the first paragraph in Dorothy Wolovlek’s April 3 letter to the editor in The Times.

You are wrong!

U.S. citizens having a baby on foreign soil can be a citizen of another country as well as the United States (not recognized by the U.S.).

Our son was born in South Ruisslip, England. He has an English birth certificate – and an American one (military).

Our son received whatever benefits were offered to other British-born babies. A visiting nurse came for several weeks. We received “nappies” as diapers are called. And other infant items. It was a very good experience.

As an adult, he received a British passport as they recognize “dual citizenship.” He can go to Canada, Australia or any “Commonwealth” country and receive benefits as well.

I’m sure it is not “the norm” in other countries, but it was in England, the one country I can speak to. Thank you.
