Examining what amounts to Stanley Ann's decisions and actions during a critical period in Obama's life has revealed to us that SHE WAS NOT A STABLE INDIVIDUAL. No doubt her mother and father knew that and acted responsibly. That would have included making sure Obama had a home no matter what his mom did.
Still, I'm guessing they failed to adopt him when Stanley came back home with the baby after she was abandoned by her guy (Obama's father).
That's how she escaped with yet a different guy to a different third-world nation ~ she had custody!
When she came back from the romp I'd imagine that's when her mother and father adopted Obama and gave him his present name.
All of that assumes Stanley Ann was a whack job and her parents were somewhat more stable.
When she came back from the romp I'd imagine that's when her mother and father adopted Obama and gave him his present name. that caught my eye...because IIRC, when obama 'helped' to put through that amendement re John McCain, it was mentioned there was an attempt to include offspring of military personnel. (Don't tell me I have to go back and find it!)
Obama himself in his book refers to the marriage of his parents as something he didn't want to go into...(paraphrased) - it's my belief that marriage, if it took place, may not have been valid.
As the adopted child of Stanly Dunham, I can conjecture he may have thought his problems were over:
