I am an American citizen. My father is also, though he was born in SPain (adopted) he thinks he can get a SPanish citizenship, thus allowing me to get one too. Is this true (I am 14)

Yes, depending on what your own birth country allows as well as the country you are naturalized in. I was born in the USA, immigrated to Canada and became a naturalized Canadian citizen. I have my US passport and am applying for my Canadian passport now. I can freely go back and forth between the countries and can reside in either one or both at the same time. It is the best of both worlds!
One of my Canadian born children also has US citizenship, but my other Canadian born child does not due to the specifications of qualifying for such by the US government. It's definitely worth looking into for yourself, but it would depend on the qualifying rules of Spain.

Yes, several foreign countries allow you to have dual citizenship...USA for one you can retain another also. I know one that is an American citizen but also holds a Greek passport as a Greek citizen. He can go back and forth on either of his passports any time with no trouble at all.

Yes, many coutries recognize dual citizenship, many in Western Europe and Americas but many countries in Asia including China, India, Russia do not recognize Dual Nationality. In India, persons of Indian Origin can apply for Overseas Citizenship of India.

You can be a citizen of two different countries if they both allow it.
The U.S. allows you to have two different citizenships but you must claim only one at the border.
Not all countries allow you to have both citizenships.

yep. you will not lose your American citizenship unless you denounce it, by either advising our govt that you no longer wish to be a citizen, and taking on a citizenship of another country, or by being an elected official of another country...for example you move to Mexico and run for governor.

You can have dual citizenship in some countries. But not all. You'd have to check with the country that you want to have it with.
