Hello Silvia,

I will need a bit more information about both of your exact legal statuses: your countries of citizenship, the exact history of when both of you obtained and lost which status, where te father left to, what stage your case it at and so on.

But potentially, your child could even have German citizenship. If the father had been a legal resident of Germany for at least 8 years and had permanent residence status, your child would have received German citizenship by having been born in Germany(§ 4 III StAG).
