The US is different than other countries. For example you can only be Iranian if one of your parents have been Iranian. Being born here doesn't qualify you as an Iranian citizen nor living here for a hundred years. As you know US is a multi-ethnic country and one can get a citizenship and fit in well because there are all kind of races living there. Same thing goes for adoption. What is not a problem in the US might be a problem in Russia, Iran or some other country. So what you guys are arguing over is because you don't have any idea how things in different countries are.
