The "mother's name" on both documents is different on my birth certificates.
You are relating your personal experience to circumstances that may be nothing like your own.
I think it is only because of my personal experience that I am even looking in this direction. Had I known nothing of the details of an adoption, such an answer would not have even occurred to me. I must point out, that I am not the only one who thinks Obama was adopted by his Grandparents. (Later legally annulled, thus the new document.)
There’s no way you can know when and by whom
Everything is surmised based on what seems to be KNOWN facts.
1. Indonesian law seems to make adoption of children under five automatic.
2. After 1971 Obama lived with his Grandparents.
3. His birth document appears to be a forgery of recent vintage.
4. Hawaii does not disown it.
What makes sense of it all? This adoption theory seems to. It is both Legal *AND* fake. If you have any familiarity with the theory of Quantum Mechanics, this idea is not so difficult to grasp. The "cat" is both dead and alive at the same time. :)
