“A legally sealed document can ONLY be unsealed by court order.”

It is getting late for me and I am quite confused.
Help me out...

Obama was born as Obama....right?
So his name was changed to Soetoro and his ORIGINAL COLB sealed...right?
The original exist but can only be unsealed by court order...right?
So, if Obama petitioned a judge to release his original COLB, it would say Barack Obama....Whats the problem
as long as it says that he was born in Hawaii?

I'm not a lawyer; however, it is not my understanding that adoptees can successfully petition the court to have their original BCs unsealed.

Each state has different laws about this, and ADOPTEE ORGANIZATIONS have been fighting these laws for decades.
