We adopted a baby girl from S. Korea 22 years ago. After she became an American citizen, we applied to the state of TX to get her a birth certificate as we were told to do by the adoption agency. It is an American birth certificate that says she was born in S. Korea.
We also adopted a girl from Korea 22 year ago in Hawaii. However, we obtained a Certificate of Live Birth right after her adoption which acts as her “birth certificate” and does state that she was born in Seoul, SK.
The State of Hawaii, in addition to having the COLB on file, also has a copy of her original Korean birth certificate which was in her paperwork package when she was brought into the US, and required as part of the adoption process.
Others here on FR have pointed out that Obama’s COLB is faked and is actually his sister’s COLB that has been photoshopped. I don’t know about that, but if so, it would indicate that he may have a COLB but one that shows he was born somewhere else.
Producing the documents makes all this conjecture go away and if Obama had nothing to hide (like John McCain), he would.
Already cast my early vote for Sarah here in TX. Hmmm, maybe I should go do it again..... :-)
