Legally, Soetoro is his father.

His adoptive father Soetoro, though very possibly important as to his current citizenship status, has absolutely no relevance to his legal father at birth, nor to the information on his original long form BC. Although we don't know for sure, his legal father at birth was presumed to be the British (later Kenyan) citizen Barack Hussein Obama (Sr.). (In fact, an "official" Obama web site had admitted to Barack Sr.'s British citizenship at the time of Barack II's birth.) According to some legal opinions, BHO Jr. cannot be a natural born citizen if his father was not an American citizen at the time of his birth, which would appear to be the factual reality. So, pursuant to this line of argument, he would not qualify constitutionally for POTUS under such a circumstance.

Not sure I understand your sentence regarding the BC, his stepfather and father.
