She was barely out of high school, pregnant by an exotic African. She became an anthropologist. She was excited to see his country, see where he came from. She wasn’t thinking about any possible impact on the baby’s future.
Or,Kenyan father wanting his baby to be born in Kenya. We are all guessing but some likely thoughts here.
Maybe- Then again, It's seems very calculating to have had her mother in Hawaii applying for citizenship,posting birth announcement with address that didn't trace to them.
according to that document she was 16 yrs old, still in high school, essentially.
