It’s likely that the adoption in Indonesia was never related to the American authorities. Along with dual allegiances, it is my firm belief that he has maintained DUAL IDENTITIES. One as the American citizen Barack Obama, and one as the Indonesian citizen Barry Soetero. It is the only plausible explanation for how he could’ve obtained an Indonesian passport to travel to Pakistan in 1981...
I fleshed out my theory on another thread a few days ago, but it’s very possible that his American records will show no sign of his adoption since it was not done here in the U.S.
I’ll go look for the link to my post - it’ll explain where I’m coming from a LOT better! LOL
I found it! :) (tons of pings lately! LOL)
Keep in mind the following is a THEORY as to how Obama could have maintained his dual citizenship even AFTER he was 18, even though it is ILLEGAL to do so in Indonesia.
Here is the post I wrote out a few days ago on this:

Actually I think it was. His stepfather married his mother in Hawaii, and I think adopted little Barry before returning to Indonesia. Could be wrong about that, but I remember reading it somewhere or other. But such an adoption, in and of itself, would not change BO's citizenship status, nor affect his natural born status, if he indeed was natural born at that point.
