But they did not move back to Indonesia until Obama was 5 or 6 and I don't see how an Indonesian adoption could have been accomplished outside of the country especially when the law said that the Pengadilan Negeri, which I assume is a government entity, had to certify the adoption at the residence of the adopted father. In 1965 the residence was Honolulu.
You don’t have the capacity to imagine that Lolo had a permanent residence in Indonesia while attending school in Hawaii and could have had the adoption certified on a trip home??
