Roee and Adiel Kiviti have been married almost six years and live in the United States. They are both American citizens, as is their 2-year-old son, Lev. However, they say their infant daughter, Kessem, has been denied birthright citizenship under a State Department policy that considers her"born out of wedlock" -- and they're not the first LGBT family to be affected by the policy under the Trump administration.
Both children were born in Canada using an egg donor and a surrogate mother. The Kivitis told CNN's Brianna Keilar that it was"a straightforward procedure" to obtain Lev's US passport. This was not the case when they sought to do the same for Kessem in early May."We're a family of four people where three have American citizenship and a 2-month baby that the State Department is refusing her a right to a birthright citizenship," Adiel Kiviti said.
