I'm not currently pregnant, I'm just thinking ahead for the future. I would love my child to have double citizenship for the US and Sweden. My husband is a native born Swede. I adore Sweden and would love to give birth there one day. But I don't see much point in traveling all the way there to give birth, if my baby doesn't get any kind of citizenship.

Any insight on this would be great. (:

Here is the info - A Swedish American in Swedish-America: Moving to Sweden - Swedish Citizenship Test (http://welcometosweden.blogspot.com/2008/11/moving-to-sweden-swedish-citizenship.html)

It also lists resources.

No, very few nations follow the rules that he US has. Normally most nations require you be born to a parent who is a citizen.
So you or the babies father would have to be a swiss citizen for the chlld to be swiss at birth.

I had a great link, but lost it when I lost interent for a bit
