Fred, when did St Ann turn eighteen? Her parents would have control in the decision of what to do with the baby in our state until the age of eighteen. Upon that birthday she is emancipated and makes her own decisions.

What are the laws of HI?

Does her eighteen birthday free her from parents decision to put the baby up for adoption, marry SR, or travel out of the country without parental consent?

Stanley Ann Dunham was born on November 29, 1942

Sorry, I cannot answer your other questions.

when did St Ann turn eighteen?

Ann (reportedly) married Obama SR on Feb. 2, 1961   ANN'S EXACT AGE: 18 years, 2 months, 5 days

Ann (reportedly) gave birth to Obama JR on Aug. 4, 1961 (reportedly in Hawaii)   ANN'S EXACT AGE: 18 years, 8 months, 7 days

What are the laws of HI?

Assuming the laws are the same in 1960-1961 as they are today...

In Hawaii, the legal age of consent to have sex is 16 years old. A person who is 14 or older can legally consent to sex with a person who is 19 or younger.

In Hawaii, it is illegal to have sex with a person under the age of 14 under any circumstances. However, it is legal to have sex with a person between the ages of 14 and 16, provided that the older party is no more than 5 years older than the minor.

Similar laws should govern parental decisions as well.

Ann(a) Obama and her husband should have been able to make decisions for the baby. But from various accounts, Obama Sr didn't want to be involved with baby Obama. And according to Susan Blake who saw Ann with the baby in Seattle 3 weeks after he was born -- Ann didn't even know how to change the diaper very well.

Stanley Dunham was stand up giving his daughter away and the tearful Madelyn moved me to ......disbelief.
