This may have happened because these are rare and exceptional situations \u2013 they arise, for example, when parents who have filed an application for recognition as a Polish citizen do not include a child born during the proceedings. In any case, a paradoxical situation occurs that the path to Polish citizenship for a child whose both parents are Polish citizens is much more difficult and longer than for a child whose only one parent is a Polish citizen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>They can, but only if they meet the following conditions: As you can see in practice, meeting these conditions is impossible in most cases.
