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 the time it became effective, leaving many without citizenship and at risk of deportation, despite being raised in the U.S. by American citizens.

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 that bipartisan support exists for this initiative, along with backing from leading adoption advocacy organizations. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to key government officials and Iowa's congressional delegation to encourage action on this matter.
