The House Concurrent Resolution No. calls upon the President of the United States and Congress to support the naturalization of certain legally adopted children born outside the U.S. It highlights Iowa's history of welcoming international adoptees and emphasizes the importance of removing barriers to citizenship for these individuals. The resolution points out that the Child Citizenship Act of 2000 did not extend citizenship to adoptees over the age of eighteen at its enactment, leaving many without citizenship and at risk of deportation, despite being raised in American families.

The resolution advocates for the passage of the Adoptee Citizenship Act, which aims to grant citizenship to these older adoptees, thereby addressing the challenges they face, such as limited access to banking, voting, and education. It notes the bipartisan support for this initiative in Congress and the backing of leading adoption advocacy organizations. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to key federal officials and Iowa's congressional delegation to encourage action on this matter.
