That makes more sense than the alternative. There is, in fact, a letter written by Barack Obama Sr. in which he says that their original intention was to give Baby Obama up for adoption.
Perhaps she was in the Northeastern Washington area for this purpose?
Or if not, why go to the trouble and expense of leaving HI at all? Had she been in HI, shed have simply continued her education there.
Probably her daddy found out that she was pregnant from a black man and had a towering rage fit over it. Both her mom and Dad were from Kansas and from a period in which interracial intercourse was known as "miscegenation" and was a felony in many states.
Probably Mommy and Daddy were *VERY* upset with her, and sent her away to have the baby and give it up for adoption. I have already pointed out how her aunt Eleanor lived in Canada in 1959, and later in Blaine Washington. Perhaps she got sent to live with her aunt till the baby was born? This is how they did things with embarrassing pregnancies back in those days.
And while living in Canada, or up by the Canadian border, who's to say she didn't take advantage of Canada's newly began FREE HEALTH CARE?
Yes, by 1961, anyone could get free health care at Canadian hospitals and I expect this would look pretty good to a poor pregnant girl of the time.
All highly likely. Add to that the fact that the National Archive documentation of foreign arrivals to HI was stolen/destroyed for the week of Obama’s supposed birth. Whose arrival in HI during that week was so damaging to the Obama narrative that the National Archives had to be vandalized.
Granny Dunham returning from Canada, most likely. It was customary for a mother to be on hand for her daughter’s first delivery, if at all possible, in those days. Expectant mothers were often sedated, and the baby delivered via forceps. Complications were not uncommon.
