I don't have an exact link handy stating so but I have done extensive research and from what I have read on numerous sites Lolo Soetoro did adopt Barky at age 6 and he was known as Barry Soetoro for some time and may have had a passport issued under that name.

best info we have is that when he was adopted his BC in Honolulu(not that he was born there) was sealed at that time.

I have become obsessed with citizenship because of this. I thought the biggie was the adoption but, from what I have read with regard to the law, a parent cannot renounce citizenship for a child. Only the person himself can renounce citizenship and they would not except that from a 6 yr. old, however, you do not have to be 18 to renounce your citizenship, you just have to be able to comprehend what you are doing.
