So a birth certificate from the sixties would reflect a name change from the seventies.
Right.
Brilliant.
Just another theory for your Sunday morning entertainment.
I do not understand why people keep harping on the Original Long Form BC, as that would have been permanently sealed by the family court conducting the adoption.
You said it better and more concisely than I was going to say it. Well done.
It is common, in many states, to reach back onto the birth certificates, to change a name on a birth certificate. From the birth name to the adopted name, and behave as the original name never existed.
I’m no fan of this, mind you, but this is done in a lot of the states and has been for many years.
So yes, a birth certificate from the sixties would reflect an adoption (thus a name change) into the seventies.
Go ahead and look it up. It’s no joke.
“So a birth certificate from the sixties would reflect a name change from the seventies.”
Yes, actually that is what happens. When there is an adoption, the original is sealed and the birth certificate is reissued as a birth registration with the new parent(s) listed... at least that’s what happened in Michigan to me back in the late 50’s when my mother remarried after my father’s death and my stepfather adopted us... don’t know about Hawaii.
My question also. This “theory’ is laughable at best.
Yes it would. When we adopted our oldest his birth certificate was reissued with my husband and me listed as parents and his name as we had given it. The original was sealed.

Yeah that doen’t sound so Kosher to me either.
If he was born Barrack Obama it would be the name on his Birth Certificate.
Actually, yes it would.
I was born with one last name in the 50’s. When my mother’s second husband (ie my father) adopted me in the 60’s my birth name changed.
Any COLB I get is with my adopted last name, not my birth name.
Not brillant, but very common.
If (and I have no proof) Soetoro adopted obie, obie could not go back and undo the adoption. He could petition the court to correct his BC (ie his birth name), but he could not change the name of his legal father, Lolo.
(I discussed early on how this might be one explanation for what he was hiding, especially after publishing ‘Dreams of My Father’ )
You’re right.
First time I have been able to agree/side with you
Back to my silence.
Right.
Brilliant." <<<<<
Say, fars.... here in the USA when a child is adopted, even if it's "only" by a new spouse, the original birth certificate is CHANGED and henceforth the adoptive parent shows up as the parent, NOT THE BIOLOGICAL PARENT.
Happens ALL the time, and organizations for the rights of adoptees have been trying to change the laws of all states for many decades.
An adoption results in a changed birth certificate as if the child was indeed born to the adoptive parent(s).
So your snark is all for naught.
I’m thinking that the name on the birth certificate would have been Barry Dunham. His parents were never legally married, they just said some vows and pronounced themselves married.
My guess is that Obama was trying to avoid questions as to why he changed his name to a Muslim name if he wasn’t Muslim. What was wrong with the Christian name?
