Roee and Adiel Kiviti of Chevy Chase, Md., represented by Immigration Equality, Lambda Legal, and pro bono counsel Morgan Lewis, say the State Department refused to recognize the U.S. citizenship of their daughter, Kessem, under a policy that treats the children of same-sex couples as if they were born out of wedlock, according to a press release from the two organizations. Several other couples have sued over this policy, and at least one has won at the trial court level, but the State Department is appealing the ruling.
