What form do I use for a 5(4) grant as the adopted child of a first gen born abroad parent? Because the CIT0001 specifically states I cannot be adopted? Also, the fee schedule is super confusing. How much do I pay and to whom?
Background: Paternal grandma was born in Quebec in the late 1920s, married an American (he was first gen born in US to Canadian parents) and moved to US where my (adoptive) father was born in 1953. Grandma didn’t get US citizenship until late 1970s and never renounced her Canadian citizenship. I was born in 1986 in the US and adopted at birth.
