...since Obama was Adopted, retained his adopted name Barry Soetoro, there is not indication that he asked for or was granted a legal name change BACK to Barak Obama.

Or maybe it means that his name was never legally changed to begin with.

It is certainly possible Lucysmom, but the circumstantial evidence of that time says his name was changed specifically so he could attend elementary school in Indonesia. As we all know, there was no reason at that time to try and pull the wool over anyones eyes, so my bet is that it was changed. He went by Barry Soetoro at the Pinhaiou school in Hawaii as well. School pictures, etc.
I do not see any young pictures of him after the age of 5-6 as Barak Obama...but, it is possible.

Then perhaps was simply party to fraud in Indonesia??
