Client's Story
Where they started
The family chose Grenada citizenship as an accessible second passport with broad mobility benefits. The objective was shared - to provide European-level freedom of movement to the entire family, including the adopted child, whom the parents love and consider their own on equal terms with their biological children.
Why the standard route did not work
The family consisted of spouses, a biological child, and an adopted child. For the parents, there were no differences between the children, but the program examines documents: a child is included as a family member, and for an adopted child, recognition of the adoption must be demonstrated.
What BRIDGES had to solve
It is important to understand: programs include adopted children on equal terms with biological children - the adopted child has full rights. The issue is not about rights, but about documents: the adoption must be legally formalized and recognized, so that verification raises no questions about the child's status.
Why a standard answer would not do
The family came to BRIDGES to prevent a situation where a biological child receives a passport but the adopted child does not due to formalities. Our task was to confirm the adoption and include both children equally.
Both children are equally ours, and the thought that the adopted child might not be included because of paperwork was unbearable. Anna immediately assured us: an adopted child is included on equal terms with a biological child; we only needed to properly confirm the adoption. The team collected the documents and formalized the recognition correctly. As a result, all four of us received Grenada passports. No difference between the children - exactly as it should be.
