But much went wrong, as we know. Sukarno was deposed, and MX was assassinated. Where would that have left a child whose guardian may NOT have remained in favour with the new regime?
In limbo? He is no longer to be known as Soebarkah after August 1968...and is removed from her passport...the Soetoro family looks fake, though if she was married to someone named Lolo Soetoro, that man would be seen to be the boy's stepfather...but does that mean he could NOT be adopted or have a guardian named Soebarkah? I think we have been a little too complacent about Indonesia. Something isn't right there.
