This FOIA request would indicate that Obama was adopted or was in legal custody of someone else, possibly Madelyn and Stanley Obama, his grandparents after Obama returned from Indonesia alone in December of 1970. Obama's mother and step-father Lolo Soetoro listed a Hawai'i apartment address on their returns prepared for them. Stanley Ann Dunham as a student would have certainly listed her son as a dependent due to their money situation. She didn't though. She only listed her daughter Maya as a dependent. Someone or some agency was Obama’s legal guardian after January of 1971 that was not his supposed parents - that has to be accepted as fact. So who was Obama’s legal guardian as of January 1972?
In 1971, Dunham sent the young Obama back to Hawaii to attend Punahou School starting in 5th grade rather than having him stay in Asia with her.
In 1971, Obama returned to Honolulu to live with his maternal grandparents, Madelyn and Stanley Dunham, and with the aid of a scholarship attended Punahou School, a private college preparatory school, from fifth grade until his graduation from high school in 1979. Obama lived with his mother and sister in Hawaii for three years from 1972 to 1975 while his mother was a graduate student in anthropology at the University of Hawaii.[20] Obama chose to stay in Hawaii with his grandparents for high school at Punahou when his mother and sister returned to Indonesia in 1975 to begin anthropology field work.

What exactly was Obama's legal status in 1973? Obviously, Stanley Ann was not his legal parent/guardian at the time even though both were supposedly living in Hawaii.
