Ethan and Aiden Dvash-Banks are toddler twins who share almost
everything: the same toys, the same nursery, the same clothes and the
same parents. Everything but a toothbrush and U.S. citizenship.
To
remedy what their parents, a same-sex married couple, view as an
injustice, Ethan Dvash-Banks became a plaintiff at the tender age of 16
months in a federal lawsuit against the U.S. State Department that seeks
the same rights his brother has as an American citizen.
Each boy
was conceived with donor eggs and the sperm from a different father —
one an American, the other an Israeli citizen — but born by the same
surrogate mother minutes apart.
“What we’re trying to do is pursue
justice for Ethan,” said Elad Dvash-Banks, Ethan’s biological dad, “and
correct a wrong that the State Department is continuing to pursue that
might affect other couples.”
