"Our firm has developed and implemented a proven legal pathway for Greek-born adoptees to reclaim their Greek citizenship and secure rightful registration in the Greek Civil Registry," said Rallou Kyriakopoulou, Director of Greek Matters at Tsoromokos & Papadopoulos, PLLC. "This Order validates a legal process we've successfully applied for years. Many believed it was impossible, but we always believed that hard work and our dedication to developing the legal framework would accomplish the goal, and this Order is the proof"

This effort once believed impossible, has now become a reality thanks to the firm's expertise in Greek Citizenship Law and years of determined, strategic legal advocacy. Their framework was acknowledged by the Greek Government, the Ministry of the Interior, and especially Minister Theodoros Livanios, who issued the landmark Ministerial Order. The Order establishes a definitive legal precedent and a clear path forward for Greek-born adoptees seeking the restoration of their citizenship. It formalizes and expands access to Greek citizenship for those who were separated from their heritage through adoption, often during periods of profound social and political upheaval.
