If BHO, Sr. was not his father, who was?
The record shows that his daddy considered putting him up for adoption, but evidently failed to clear it with his mommy. In any case, while that was going on, he'd worn out his American welcome sufficiently (apparent bigamy, chasing stateside girls) that Harvard saw fit to conspire with INS to ease him out of the country before he could earn that coveted PhD.
If he'd played his cards right, he could have easily leveraged his marriage to Stanley Ann to gain US citizenship. But that was never his plan. He wanted to be a big shot in newly independent Kenya, not a struggling immigrant academic in the US.
You read too much into my statement. Barack Sr. may very well be his father, but that does not mean that Barry hasn't been adopted at some point in his past.

It certainly appears that Barack Sr. is regarded as the father at that time, but I am not ruling out the possibility that Barack Sr. was just a "beard" to cover up the fact that Frank Davis was having sex with his best friend's Daughter.

As it turned out, he became neither. He died in a Drunk Driving accident (the last of many) crippled and broken and penniless.
