Practice question
A covered foundling's birth certificate was simulated by an adult, and no legal adoption occurred. No substantial proof of foreign parentage is shown. An official proposes stripping the child's presumed natural-born status solely because of those adult irregularities. Which answer is correct?
- Section 5 expressly protects the status from those specified irregularities; this does not grant adults immunity from separate legal consequences
- Every simulated record creates foreign citizenship
- The child's status is automatically lost whenever an adult violates a law
- Only an informal adoption can cure citizenship
- The finder may decide the child's nationality privately
