I doubt grandma Dunham knew that a girl of Stanley’s age was too young to confer American citizenship on her baby born in Canada, and anyway, they were not planning for Stanley ann to become a mother. She was to return home with no baby.
I am sure for YEARS baby Barack had no need of a BC. And then when it was time to travel to Indonesia, problems arose. They may have been desperate for Lolo to swear to Indonesia that this was his son, just to get him any travel docs at all. I bet if you are high up inindonesian society you can baksheesh your way to anything you want.
