I think maybe the birth certificate lists his last name as Soetoro. If he was adopted, he would be issued a new certificate with that last name. The factcheck.org was created to list his last name as Obama because if it listed Soetoro that would automatically deem him ineligible.

I think a more logical outcome would be that the last name would be Dunham. That could also cause a similar problem in the name arena.
