I thought about this for a year now. Its the only thing that makes sense.
When a woman marries, she usualy takes up the citizenship of her husband. Sometimes immediately by law, depending on the country.
It would not surprise me if she applied for kenyan citizenship, and then documented her son as Kenyan.
This is normal for a man and wife to do.

Not in this country. American women are not required to give up their US citizenship upon marriage to a foreign national, and they do not normally do so. For obvious reasons.
What is important to remember (assuming that what you say is true, although there's no evidence that it is), you DO NOT lose your American citizenship when you marry a foreign national, even if you obtain citizenship in that national's home country, either as a matter of law or a matter of application.
To lose one's citizenship, one must appear before a federal magistrate and complete a series of tasks. Simply proclaiming one's self a citizens of country "x", doesn't strip that person of the American citizenship.
There's ample case law addressing this very question, much of it evolving out of tax delinquency cases where people tried to avoid paying US income taxes by declaring themselves no longer citizens of the US. Essentially, you are a citizen right up until the time that the government says you're not a citizen.
