A federal judge ruled Wednesday that the U.S. State Department must recognize that the daughter of a same-sex couple in Maryland has been a U.S.
citizen since her birth in Canada via a surrogate last year, reports The Houston Chronicle. U.S. District Judge Theodore Chuang rejected the Trump administration’s position that the child, Kessem Kiviti, was born out of wedlock because one of her married parents is not her biological parent.
