Hawaii will issue a Hawaii Certificate of Live Birth to any one adopted in Hawaii even if they were born outside the United States.

That raises even more questions. Could Obama have been born in a foreign country, been adopted, then issued a "Certificate of Live Birth" in Hawaii?

According to Hawaiian state law Yes he could.
