But I believe I was told that O’s mother was not legally an adult, that is age 18, at the time of his birth. I do not know that to have been the case, but my memory bank tells me that I have read that, somewhere.

Perhaps what you refer to is the law which in 1961 required a female to be an American citizen for five years past her fourteenth birthday in order to pass her citizenship tot he child IF the child was born not on American soil. If Barack was born in early August '61, his mother was impregnated in the winter of 1960.

No, you are half correct.

She was 17 when she became pregnant, 18 when she gave birth.

So you are right, and wrong at the same time, LOL!
