I was responding to your post about “mothers” and adoptions in Hawaii in 1961. When someone adopts a baby, they immediately become a mother or father.

Gotcha. Sorry.

As for your post, it seemed you were trying to make the point that Dunham could have adopted Obama as a means to get around his having been born in Kenya, which would have meant he would not have been a US citizen, owing to Dunham's age at the time of his birth.

If that's not the point you were making, then disregard my comment.
