Curious question about dual citizenship

[Tracey&Greg 33]

My hubby is a current 10 year greencard holder and we have a 7 month old. I never really thought about it till recently since we're traveling to Manchester in September and having to get him a passport. I was wondering if he technically a dual citizen? Also really deep rabbit hole question, my husband adopted my son from my first marriage so he is now technically his biological father so would that make him dual as well?.. Like I said I'm sorry I'm just curious

Your son may well be a UKC, did you register his birth, does he have a UK passport. Most unlikely his step son has a claim unless you are looking to move back.

Just because he adopted him that doesn't make him a biological parent. Biological means he is genetically related as in DNA. 

 

He might be a dual citizen though you'd have to check with the other country to see their requirements and qualifications for it.

Your husband is not a dual citizen. He needs to be a citizen first. If your son is depends on the UK laws on the matter of adoptive children.

Waiting for our lawyer to answer for our oldest but our youngest I'm mostly curious about since biologically he is ours by flesh and blood. (and he has a chin lol)

The  word from the home office https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/583385/MN1_Guide_January_2017.pdf#page14 Starts at the bottom of p. 14.

 

it speaks of being adopted by British citizen parents, as in plural,

My brother adopted his wife's child from her previous marriage. They were living in Mexico at the time. My brother lived there for 8 years and met his now-wife there. His wife is Mexican. Her son is also Mexican. The son did not become a British citizen when he was adopted. The child they had together (birth child) in Mexico is both British and Mexican from birth. They subsequently moved to the U.K. and his wife now has British citizenship too after being in the U.K. for the required period of time. The son became a British citizen on the same day.
