The kids were born in 1993 and 1996. we married in may 2001 and he adopted them in 2005. we live in the usa and me and the kids are american, but because their now legal father is dutch, can my kids become dutch as well and recieve dutch passports??

Answer 1

no...they'd be american and have american passports

Answer 2

Almost exactly the same thing happened to me: but I am American and my wife is from Spain.  My kids obtained Spanish passports with no problem at all.

Answer 3

Dutch oven?

Answer 4

So far I know that Dutch nationality law is based primarily on the principle of Jus sanguinis or citizenship based on the birth to a Dutch parent, irrespective of place of birth. Dutch citizenship may applied to your third kid with him as biological father in this case.  But since your presents kids'  biological father is not Dutch citizen (I assumed), then I think they could not have Dutch nationality.
