All you need to do is find out which states (or provinces) don't ever open those records and there you have it!
So, let me say this about that, Stanley Ann's own baby-daddy wanted a son so bad he named her Stanley! A guy like that would do anything to get a son ~ even get a surrogate mother ~ and with Stanley on the route to getting a Ph.D there was a good chance he wouldn't even live to see a grandson.
All makes more sense.
BTW, I gather abortion was some sort of issue to Obama's grandparents and his mother ~ they were people who didn't believe in it ~ yet he does. I have met adult adoptees who are angry with their step-family for their not having been aborted. Maybe they think they could have started over or something.
A closed record is the answer ~ and it links well with his attitude toward abortion making him an emotional basket case.
Yes, his resemblance to his maternal grandfather is very startling, but... not unheard of.
