100% with you that something had to happen in 1971.
Grandparents would not take responsibility of a child without clear and clean guardianship and citizenship status.
But Hawaii has never released anything directly. Nada.
Prior to July 2009 they issued statements that allude to ‘our records indicate...’ but they would not directly say ‘Obama was born in Hawaii’.
That changed in July 2009 when the US House of Representatives declared Hawaii to be a son of Hawaii. This was the first ever government statement to that effect. Then, LATER THAT DAY, Hawaii indicated in a apparently unsolicited statement that Obama was born in Hawaii. Choreographed? Coincidence?
The adoption process would be a legal meat grinder of actual documents. But Hawaii seems to want to keep an arms length away from this.

Most states won't. I have read through some of Hawaii's adoption law, and the privacy section is pretty huge, though again I argue, Eligibility for Presidency should TRUMP all privacy laws. Verifying constitutional requirements for office should not be thwarted by a state statute.

I don't know. Legal requirements can be pretty weird sometimes. I think you are suggesting that they complied with some legal Kabuki dance which enabled them to make such a claim. Could be. Again, Legal technicalities can be pretty weird.

Especially if it occurred TWICE, with an annulment or modification at the end!

Who would want their state's first President to be declared illegitimate?
