I am adopted as well, but I have the good fortune to posses copies of my original birth certificate AND my "official" certified birth certificate. As a result, i'm quite familiar with the fact that you cannot accept whatever the state "certifies" at face value, because they will not tell you that you are looking at the birth certificate of an adopted child. They aren't allowed.
There is some evidence that Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, at least under Indonesian law. I don't know of any evidence that proves Obama was adopted under Hawaiian law, but it is not a stretch to believe he was. (again, the state will neither confirm nor deny.)
For the office of the Presidency, no state should be permitted to play games with a question of eligibility. The state should be required to produce the ORIGINAL document that verifies his birth, signed by a witness to the event, adopted. amended, or otherwise. I suspect that document will prove to be an At home birth affidavit, as described by Fukino as half written half typed.
“There is some evidence that Obama was adopted by Lolo Soetoro, at least under Indonesian law. “
I follow these threads and believe Obama has eligibility problems. But I have never seen evidence that Obama was legally adopted by his stepdad. What evidence do you have? If it’s only his school papers, that’s nothing.
You could find school papers on my oldest son when he was little where we listed his name with his stepdad’s surname even though he was never adopted by him. My son wanted to use our name so we let him. There were never any problems and eventually he returned to his legal last name.
