Gay Fathers, Twin Sons: The Citizenship Case That Captured the World

Andrew, an American, and Elad, an Israeli, married in Canada in 2010. They conceived twins via surrogacy. Because the twins had different fathers, one was denied U.S. citizenship since he lacked an American connection. And, thus, their ground-breaking legal journey began. The couple’s high-profile lawsuit nearly reached the US Supreme Court, capturing worldwide attention along the way. Nancy Segal brings the story to life through firsthand accounts of each father’s life history and analysis of the legal intricacies that threatened to deny US citizenship to one of their twin sons.
