As for using the the Soetoro name as an adult, someone earlier on this thread asserted that he used it at Occidental, and I replied with a requested for support for this assertion. We’ll see if it is forthcoming.

“Probably in late 1980, Obama decides to stop using the name Barry Soetoro and returns to the name Barack Obama, Jr. [194]”

“It is clear that the students at Occidental did not know Barry Soetoro by the name of OBAMA. Instead he was using his Indonesian name and passport. This story cleverly hides the fact that the confusion came not from the first name Barry or Barack, but because of the LAST NAME Soetoro vs. Obama. “

“isn’t shy about claiming him as an alumnus for his two years there (1979-81) on full scholarship.”
REPEAT - ON FULL SCHOLARSHIP. How? He supposedly did not have good grades at all in high school. It was not athletic...but a full scholarship? How?
Also there are 999-99-xxxx social security numbers associated with his name while Occidental. These are numbers usually used by foreign nationals who do not have valid Social Security numbers.
But he was definitely Barry OBAMA in HS:

So he switches from Obama BACK to Soetoro??? Why go ‘backwards’...
Either:
a) to get foreign money scholarship or...
b) maybe that is what his BC real COLB said as expatguy has said here and in his blog. Since you probably need your BC records to apply for college his records say Soetoro - due to the adoption before he was 5 years old. So he has register as Soetoro because officially - it is who he is on the paperwork - at least in 1979.
‘b)’ above goes counter to my theory that in 1971 the grandparents would have cleaned up all issues of nationality, citizenship and guardianship. But maybe they did not.
