Why would his supposed mother Stanley Anne want her parents to adopt her son? Her first born? Funny that was the same year Frank Marshall Davis and his wife got a divorce and she left. That’s when he and Gramps began hanging out with ole Frank and became Barry’s mentor.
I would assume it was because he was "cramping her style." The boy obviously wasn't well liked in Indonesia, and I suspect he was a source of friction between her and her man. She would not be the first to let Grandmother take care of her children.
You can say otherwise, but you cannot deny she ABANDONED him for the rest of his minority.

I am comfortable with the theory that Frank Marshall Davis may well have been his father. I have presented my own evidence that this was likely the case. Do you remember it?

No argument from me about this.
