This would fit the scenario where parental rights are transferred to Obama senior in late 1971 so that Obama II’s Indonesian citizenship is properly terminated.
Legally, Obama Senior likely took full custody. But probably only temporarily. He was likely a ‘conduit’ but not the final terminal.
The Obama-Dunham divorce, granted in March 1964, gave her custody - of a child we first see her with when she took him to the zoo at the age of around two. There's nothing to indicate his true identity. If she provided a birth certificate with the application for divorce, we haven't seen it. And if there had been a genuine BC for the child showing the kenyan and SAD as parents, for a birth that took place in Hawaii in August 1961, there would have been no need for the recent forgeries. I think this indicates that if a BC was supplied to the court at that time, that document would also have been a forgery.
As I see it, Stanley Ann Dunham obtained custody of an unidentified child which she probably brought to Hawaii with her from somewhere on the mainland where she was acting as his Nanny.
The enrollment at the U of HI would seem to follow, she shows up in the Spring of 1963. Thus, it's impossible to know who his parents were, or when and where he was born.
But legally, if the forged documents stand as evidence, then yes, the kenyan student gets to be the daddy. And any family court in Hawaii, charged with sorting out the mess in 1970/71 (it was around Christmas, remember?) would take the easy way out. There was no DNA testing. The kenyan student, named as father on the forged BC (IF SHE WAS REQUIRED TO SUPPLY ONE)and in the divorce docs, is the daddy.

He was a substitute. He must have been well rewarded, he was able to tour mainland US before commencing at Harvard, and install his younger brother at a private high school in Cambridge, with whom he shared accommodation. And that, after working at THE DOLE CORP pineapple cannery for a few dollars an hour - for ONE MONTH.
